PREFATORY   NOTE. 


The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton  was  founded  dur- 
ing the  earliest  period  of  the  settlement  at  "  The  Forks  of 
the  Delaware,"  and  has  been  identified  with  the  borough 
and  city  of  Easton  throughout  their  entire  history.  The 
church  building  which  the  congregation  at  present  occu- 
pies was  erected  in  1776.  It  is  the  only  public  building  in 
Easton  remaining  from  the  days  of  the  Revolution,  and  for 
nearly  half  a  century  after  its  erection  was  the  only  church 
building  in  the  town.  Its  record  books,  which  possess 
the  rare  distinction  of  being  continuous  and  unbroken  for 
nearly  a  century  and  a  half,  are  contemporaneous  in  their 
origin  with  the  early  beginnings  of  the  settlement,  and 
contain  information  of  greatest  value  to  the  many  thou- 
sands of  the  descendents  of  "The  First  Settlers  of  the 
Forks  of  the  Delaware  "  ;  for  the  settlement  having  from 
the  first  been  prevailingly  German,  nearly  every  family  in 
the  community,  at  some  time  or  other  in  its  history,  left 
some  trace  of  itself  in  the  records  of  this  old  German 
Reformed  Church.  For  genealogical  purposes  it  is  be- 
lieved that  this  publication  will  prove  of  great  value  to 
many  people.  On  a  moderate  estimate  there  are  nearly, 
or  quite,  20,000  names  recorded  in  this  book.  The  de- 
scendants of  the  people  for  whom  these  names  stand, 
though  scattered  far  and  wide,  will  here  find  material  for 
their  family  history  which  is  simply  invaluable.

THE  FORKS  OF  THE  DELAWARE. 

WHAT  is  now  known  as  "  The  City  of  Easton  "  was 
originally  called  "  The  Forks  of  the  Delaware." 
By  this  name  it  was  designated  by  the  Indians 
themselves,  long  before  the  appearance  of  the 
white  man  at  this  most  beautiful  and  romantic  spot,  and 
thoucrh  the  white  man  gave  it  a  new  name,  the  Indian  to 
the  latest  generation  clung  tenaciously  to  the  title  given  by 
his  fathers  to  the  place  where  the  Lehigh  River  empties  its 
waters  into  the  greater  Delaware.  To  the  Colonial  and 
Continental  authorities  seeking  a  council  with  the  original 
proprietors  of  the  soil,  Teedyuscung,  the  Great  King  of  the 
Delawares,  said — "  I  will  treait  with  you  nowhere  else 
than  at  the  Forks  of  the  Delaware." 

If  we  are  curious  to  know  how  this  original  name  of 
the  place  was  exchanged  for  that  which  the  city  now 
bears,  we  are  told  that  when  the  first  settlers  established 
themselves  here,  about  the  year  1739,  the  territory  of 
Northampton  County  was  a  part  of  Bucks,  and  that  when 
the  new  county  was  surveyed  and  the  town  established  by 
the  authority  of  Thomas  Penn,  it  was  directed  by  him  that 
the  County  should  be  called  Northampton  and  the  town 
Easton.  The  town  was  thus  named  in  honor  of  the  house 
of  Lord  Pomfret  in  England,  Thomas  Penn  having  mar- 
ried the  daughter  of  Lord  Pomfret.

Who  was  the  first  adventurous  white  man  to  set  foot  on 
this  most  beautiful  and  romantic  spot,  or  who  first  drew 
up  his  canoe  on  the  pebble-covered  tongue  of  land  that 
originally  extended  far  out  between  the  Delaware  and 
Lehigh  rivers  at  their  intersection,  no  one  can  tell ;  but  as 
one  stands  on  what  remains  of  "  The  Point,"  as  it  was  once 
called,  and  looks  about  him  at  the  high  hills  and  bold 
bluffs,  on  all  sides  shutting  him  in,  he  may  imagine  the 
wild  and  romantic  scene  that  must  have  presented  itself  to 
the  eye  of  the  first  white  discoverer  of  "  The  Forks  of  the 
Delaware/'  High  hills  on  all  sides  round  frowned  down, 
covered  with  dark  and  primeval  forests ;  no  house  or 
human  habitation  was  anywhere  to  be  seen  ;  no  sign  of 
civilized  man  anyw^here  appeared.  Here  the  dusky 
children  of  the  forest  were  the  only  inhabitants — and  com- 
paratively few  they  were  in  numbers  w^ho  dwelt  perma- 
nently in  this  wild  and  rugged  region  ;  for  "  The  Forks  of 
the  Delaware  "  was  rather  a  mere  meeting  place  for  the 
Indians  than  aught  else —  a  place  in  which  "  to  light  the 
council  fire  "  rather  than  a  place  of  permanent  dwelling. 
Better  lands  for  the  building  of  tow^ns  and  the  cultivation 
of  the  soil  could  be  found  elsewhere  than  amongst  these 
high  hills.  The  more  powerful  Iroquois  had  their  habi- 
tation in  the  Genesee  valley  in  western  New  York ;  the 
Lenni-Lenape  dwelt  eastward  along  the  Delaware,  the 
Delawares  northward  in  the  Minnisink  region — but  no- 
where could  a  council  fire  be  so  well  lighted  as  where  the 
two  great  rivers  joined  their  waters  with  the  might}-  hills 
as  witnesses  of  their  union.  And  to  these  council  fires, 
long  before  the  advent  of  the  white  man,  the  Indians  came 
dow^n  the  Lehigh  from  the  west  in  their  light  birch-bark 
canoes,  or  down  the  Delaware  from  the  north,  holding 
here  their  conferences  of  peace  or  war,  trade  or  barter, 


The  Forks  of  the  Delaware.  3 

at  the  well-known  and  far-famed  "Forks  of  the  Dela- 
ware." 

For  centuries  they  had  held  undisputed  possession  of  this 
charming  spot,  when  the  first  white  man,  crossing  the  sands 
of  New  Jersey  or  descending  the  hills  of  the  Lehigh,  pen- 
etrated to  this  favorite  Indian  rendezvous.  What  his  name 
or  what  his  experience  we  know  not,  but  we  are  told  that 
one  David  Martin  in  1739  built  the  first  house  at  *'The 
Point,"  as  the  intersection  of  the  two  rivers  was  then  called 
— a  log  cabin,  rude  enough  no  doubt,  but  comfortable,  and 
long  celebrated  as  the  scene  of  very  important  transactions 
between  civilized  and  savage  man.  Here  David  Martin 
established  his  ferry,  carrying  the  adventurous  trader  or 
the  occasional  traveller  across  either  the  Lehigh  or  the 
Delaware  in  his  rowboat,  for  a  reasonable  consideration. 
The  inquiry  may  naturally  arise  concerning  the  necessity 
for  a  ferry  at  a  time  when  the  white  population  was  so 
sparse.  Its  existence  at  a  date  so  early  may  perhaps  be 
explained  by  the  fact  that  when  the  town  of  Easton  was 
duly  laid  out  in  1750  by  William  Parsons  a  considerable 
population  had  already  gathered  on  the  New  Jersey  side 
of  the  river  opposite,  Thomas  Penn  in  1752  expressing 
some  fear  that  what  is  now  Phillipsburg  might  prove  a 
dangerous  rival  to  Easton,  and  suggesting  that  it  might  be 
prudent  to  secure  all  the  land  possible  on  the  Jersey  side  of 
the  river.  At  all  events,  Martin's  ferry  seems  to  have 
proved  a  profitable  investment  both  to  its  original  founder 
and  his  successors. 

For  it  did  not  always  remain  a  mere  Ferry  House,  but 
was  at  an  early  date  enlarged  into  a  hotel,  kept  at  first  by 
one  Nathaniel  Vernon,  and  in  his  day  it  became  the  cele- 
brated scene  of  many  important  Indian  treaties,  all  of  which 
were  held  here  until  the  erection  of  the  church  on  Third 


4  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easioii^  Pa. 

Street,  which  afforded  larger  and  better  accommodations. 
These  treaties  were  attended  by  certain  very  celebrated 
persons  on  the  white  man's  side — by  the  Governor  of  New 
Jersey  and  his  staff,  by  the  Governor  of  Pennsylvania  and 
his  staff,  by  William  Parsons  and  Conrad  Weiser  and  other 
eminent  people  ;  and  on  the  part  of  the  Indians,  powerful 
chieftains  representing  at  times  as  many  as  eighteen  or 
nineteen  distinct  tribes  here  assembled — amongst  whom  the 
representatives  of  the  powerful  Six  Nations  held  first  place, 
though  Teedyuscung,  King  of  the  Delawares,  in  his  cocked- 
hat  covered  with  lace,  and  arrayed  in  his  broadcloth  coat 
cut  in  the  height  of  the  French  fashion,  must  alwa3's  have 
been  a  commanding  figure.  These  conferences  often  lasted 
for  two  or  three  weeks  at  a  time,  and  upon  them  the  des- 
tiny of  empires  depended.  What  grand  speaking  must 
have  been  done  on  that  historic  point  of  land  by  these  dusky 
warriors,  and  what  scenes  of  revelry  were  there  witnessed 
when  the  Council  broke  up  in  peace,  and  "the  lock  and 
chain  were  taken  off  the  cask  of  rum,"  to  the  terror  of  the 
white  inhabitants  and  the  wild  joy  of  the  savage  lovers  of 
the  white  man's  fire  water,  who  believed,  as  an  experienced 
chief  once  declared,  that  "  In  every  barrel  of  rum  there 
were  a  thousand  songs  and  fifty  fights." 

The  great  historic  interest  which  clusters  about  this  spot 
should,  we  think,  induce  the  wealthy  citizens  of  Easton  to 
purchase  "  The  Point "  and  transform  it  into  a  neat  and  well 
kept  public  park,  in  which  there  should  be  a  suitable  monu- 
ment commemorating  the  great  events  which  there  occurred 
in  Colonial  times.  A  granite  statue  of  an  Indian,  in  full 
warrior  costume,  holding  the  pipe  of  peace  in  his  hand  ;  or 
a  suitable  memorial  to  William  Parsons,  the  father  of 
Easton ;  or  both  combined,  might  well  mark  and  beautify 
the  point  of  land,  visible  from  all  our  railroads,  which 
originally  gave  the  name  to  "  The  Forks  of  the  Delaware." 


THE   FIRST    GERMAN   SETTLERS. 

T  is  evident  that  from  a  very  early  period  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  settlement  at  "The  Forks  of  the 
Delaware,"  German  immigrants  bore  a  very 
important,  if  not  a  very  conspicuous  part.  Cer- 
tainly they  constituted,  at  a  very  early  date,  the  major 
portion  of  the  population.  It  is  true  indeed  that  they  do 
not  figure  very  largely  or  prominently  in  the  early  annals 
and  records  of  events,  but  in  the  early  history  of  Easton, 
as  in  that  of  many  other  sections  of  Pennsylvania,  this  is  to 
be  accounted  for  largely  by  the  circumstance  that  the  Ger- 
mans, though  often  constituting  the  bulk  of  the  population, 
were  not  acquainted  with  the  English  language.  The  Eng- 
lish language  necessarily  had  the  preference  in  a  colony  of 
England  ;  it  was  the  only  language  employed  in  the  courts 
of  justice,  in  the  Councils  of  the  Province,  and  in  all  corre- 
spondence with  the  mother  country.  Such  being  the  case, 
our  German  ancestors  were  of  necessity  excluded  from  office- 
bearing  in  the  affairs  of  state  to  a  large  extent,  and  in  all 
public  transactions  in  the  early  period  of  the  colony  have 
therefore  left  a  trace  of  themselves  entirely  disproportionate 
to  either  their  numbers  or  their  importance  in  the  true  life 
and  development  of  the  State.  They  were  perforce  con- 
strained to  leave  to  others  the  pleasing  task  of  writing  the 
history  which  they  were  helping  so  largely  to  make.  Be- 
sides this,  it  is  to  be  remembered  that  the  German  is  con- 
stitutionally modest  and  retiring.  He  does  not  possess  the 
disposition  of  some  other  nationalities  to  push  and  elbow  his 
way  to  the  front,  preferring  rather  to  sit  quietly  and  bide 
his  time.     So  true  are  these  facts  that  it  has  been  well  said 


6  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

that  "the  Pennsylvania-German  Society  will,  to  a  very 
large  extent,  compel  the  history  of  the  great  Common- 
wealth of  Pennsylvania  to  be  rewritten." 

We  cull  a  few  facts  from  which  it  may  well  appear  that 
the  Germans  were  a  very  important  factor  at  an  early  day 
in  the  history  of  Easton.^  "  In  a  letter  dated  December 
8,  1752,  six  months  after  the  first  sessions  of  the  Court, 
William  Parsons  says  that  there  were  then  eleven  families 
living  in  the  town  (probably  about  fifty  men,  women  and 
children) ;  and  in  the  histories  of  Northampton  County 
and  Lehigh  Valley  we  have  a  list  of  these  families  and 
their  callings  —  William  Parsons,  Clerk  of  Courts,  etc.; 
Lewis  Gordon,  law3'er ;  Henry  Alshouse,  carpenter ; 
Abram  Berlin,  smith ;  Nathaniel  Vernon,  ferryman ; 
William  Craig  and  John  Anderson,  tavern-keepers  ;  Paul 
Miller,  tavern-keeper ;  Ernest  Becker,  baker ;  Anthony 
Esser,  butcher ;  John  Finley,  mason ;  M^'er  Hart,  shop- 
keeper." 

The  first  church  and  school-house  was  erected  in 
Easton  by  the  agency  largely  of  the  German  settlers.  In 
the  year  1746  the  Rev.  Michael  Schlatter  came  to  this 
country  from  Switzerland  and  Holland,  to  visit  the  scat- 
tered people  of  the  Reformed  faith  in  the  provinces  of 
Penns3'lvania,  Maryland  and  Virginia.  In  175 1  he  re- 
turned to  Europe  to  report  to  the  Synods  of  South  and 
North  Holland  which  had  sent  him  forth.  To  the  churches 
in  Holland  as  well  as  in  England  he  appealed  for  help  for 
the  destitute  settlers  in  this  new  land,  and  on  his  return  to 
America  in  1752  he  brought  with  him  very  substantial 
tokens  of  the  interest  of  Christian  people  in  these  German 
settlers,  in  the  shape  of  numerous  bibles  and  a  very 
considerable  amount  of    money  for  the  establishment   of 

■Condit's  "History  of  Easton,"  p.  15.

churches  and  schools.  Of  these  bibles,  one  is  still  in 
the  possession  of  the  "  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton." 
And  as  for  the  schools— it  is  recorded  that,  in  order  to 
make  effectual  Easton's  portion  of  the  Schlatter  School 
Fund,  on  the  31st  day  of  July,  1755,  the  following  "do 
hereby  engage  and  agree  to  and  with  William  Parsons,

element  of  the  population  of  "The  Forks  of  the  Dela- 
ware "  more  than  twenty  years  before  the  signing  of  the 
Declaration  of  Independence.  The  Germans  were  rela- 
tively numerous,  but  they  were  neither  wealthy  nor  conspic- 
uous. The}'  were  making  history — or  helping  largely  to 
make  it  —  but  they  were  not  much  employed  in  recording 
it ;  they  could  handle  a  pick,  a  shovel  or  an  axe — and  they 
knew  well  how  to  handle  a  gun,  too,  as  we  shall  shortly 
see — but  not  being  masters  of  the  language  of  "the 
powers  that  be,"  they  were  not  expert  in  making  reports 
of  things  done.  They  were  at  a  disadvantage,  evidently; 
but  on  the  whole  and  in  the  long  run,  history  is  just. 

Not  only  did  the  Germans  lead  the  way  in  the  religious 
and  educational  interests  of  the  new  community ;  they 
were  equally  zealous  in  things  patriotic.  In  1763  the  first 
military  company  was  formed  in  Easton  for  defence  against 
the  Indians,  the  following  being  the  agreement  by  which 
the  members  bound  themselves  to  service — 

"  Wee,  the  undernamed  subscribers,  doo  hereby  joyntly  and 
severally  agree  that  Jacob  Aradt  Esquire  shall  be  our  captain  for 
three  months  from  the  date  of  these  presence,  and  Be  alhvise 
Ready  to  obeay  him  when  he  sees  ocation  to  call  us  together  in

James  Bunston 
In  the  year  1828  a  certain  Mrs.  Anne  Royall,  "  a  notori- 
ous newspaper  satirist  and  novelist,"  made  a  journey  in  a 
stage  coach  from  Philadelphia  to  Easton,  an  account  of 
which  is  to  be  found  in  a  volume  in  the  hbrary  of  the  State 
Historical  Society,  entitled  "Mrs.  Royall's  Pennsylvania, 
or  Travels  Continued  in  the  United  States,  1829."  ^  In  her 
account  of  this  visit  to  Northampton  County  she  says  that 
Easton  "  contains  one  court  house,  one  county  house,  one 
jail,  one  market  house,  four  churches,  two  banks,  one 
pubHc  library,  seven  merchant  mills,  one  academy,  nine 
store  houses  for  flour,  etc.,  four  oil  mills,  two  sawmills, 
two  breweries,  one  distillery  —  and  four  thousand  inhab- 
itants. .  .  .  Easton  is  settled  by  Germans,  though  the 
most  of  them  use  the  English  language,  and  are  well  edu- 
cated. The  professional  men,  particularly,  are  greatly 
superior  to  those  of  New  York  and  not  inferior  to  (if  they  do 
not  excel)  those  of  any  other  town.  There  is  a  plain,  un- 
moved intelligence  about  them,  similar  to  the  people  of  the

Western  States.  ...  It  would  seem  that  good  sense, 
good  size,  good  manners  and  hospitality,  which  once  dis- 
tinguished Philadelphia,  had  fled  for  shelter  to  this  part  of 
the  state.  The  people  remind  me  of  the  French,  partic- 
ularly the  young  men  and  women,  being  very  fond  of 
music  and  dancing.  You  hear  the  violin  and  the  piano 
forte  of  an  evening  almost  in  every  home."  She  dwells 
at  length  on  the  various  enterprises  and  public  improve- 
ments at  Easton  —  the  bridges  over  the  Lehigh  and  the 
Delaware,  and  especially  upon  the  Lehigh  Canal,  over 
which  the  Lehigh  coal  is  transported  from  Mauch  Chunk 
to  Philadelphia.  This  canal,  she  tells  us,  cost  $800,000 
and  has  fifty  locks.  "  And  these  are  the  ignorant  Ger- 
mans !  I  begin  to  think  these  ignorant  Germans  have  a 
little  sound  sense,  and  a  great  deal  of  wealth  and  judg- 
ment, with  all  their  ignorance." 

In  the  very  valuable  "  History  of  the  Lehigh  Valley" 
we  read  that  "  In  1752  when  the  County  of  Northampton 
was  laid  out,  there  were  nearl}^  6,000  inhabitants,  of  whom 
600  were  Scotch-Irish,  in  Allen  and  Mount  Bethel  Town- 
ships, 300  Dutch  (Hollanders)  in  Smithfield,  and  the  rest 
Germans.  In  some  of  the  townships  there  is  not  an  Eng- 
lish name  to  be  found  on  the  assessment  list." 

We  would  certainly  not  withhold  any  honor  or  credit  from 
the  people  of  any  nationality  —  English,  Irish,  Scotch  or 
French — who  bore  a  part  in  the  early  settlement  of  "  The 
Forks  of  the  Delaware,"  but  neither  do  we  think  that  the 
patient  labors  of  the  silent  Germans  should  be  overlooked 
by  the  writers  of  the  history  of  Easton. 


THE   OLD   CHURCH    RECORD-BOOKS. 


OF  these  there  are  three,  two  of  which  are  devoted 
to  the  record,  chiefly,  of  baptisms  and  marriages, 

the  other  to  that  of  deaths,  burials  and  marriages. 

Two  of  these  books  were  evidently  purchased 
about  the  same  time,  viz.,  about  the  year  1766.  This 
we  know  from  the  fact  that  the  first  entries  are  in  the 
handwriting  of  the  second  pastor  of  the  congregation, 
the  Rev.  Frederick  L.  Henop,  who  became  the  pastor 
in  1766.  There  are  indeed  certain  entries  of  an  earlier 
date,  pertaining  to  the  ministerial  acts  of  the  first  pastor, 
Rev.  Mr.  Weyberg,  who  became  pastor  in  1763  and 
remained  only  six  months  ;  but  it  is  evident,  both  from 
the  handwriting  and  from  explicit  statements  to  that  ef- 
fect, that  these  entries  were  made  not  by  Rev.  Mr.  Wey- 
berg but  by  Rev.  Mr.  Henop,  who  transcribed  some  of  the 
records  of  Mr.  Weyberg's  brief  pastorate  into  the  church 
book  from  scattered  memoranda  left  by  him  on  his  depar- 
ture. 

From  this  circumstance  we  are  warranted  in  the  belief 
that  these  church  books  were  first  used  about  the  year 
1766.  The  two  are  of  the  same  size,  quality  of  paper,  and 
general  appearance,  except  that  the  one  is  bound  in  hog 
skin,  the  other  in  sheep. 

These  books  are  noteworthy  as  containing  three  distinct 
water-marks,  which  are  herewith  given,  representing 
Britannia  with  her  sceptre  in  hand  and  accompanied  by  the 
inevitable  British  lion  grasping  the  thunderbolts  of  power. 
The  smaller  one  carries  the  crown  and  initials  of  Georgius 
Rex  —  King  George  the  third. 


12  The  First  Reformed  Chtirch  of  Easton,  Pa. 

The  preservation  of  these  books  through  so  many  j-ears 
in  fairlv  good  condition  is  something  to  be  grateful  for, 
especially  when  one  remembers  that  in  the  early  days  of 


Easton's  history  there  were  no  fire-proof  safes  in  which 
they  might  be  kept,  and  efforts  at  protection  against  fire 
were  yet  in  their  infancy.     Indeed,  one  object  the  author 


The  Old  Chtirch  Record-Books.  13 

had  in  undertaking  the  work  of  translating  and  publishing 
these  records  was  that  they  might  be  secured  for  all  time 
against  the  danger  of  destruction  by  fire.  Once  published 
and  distributed,  in  families  and  public  libraries,  it  was  felt, 
while  fire  might  destroy  some  of  the  copies,  it  could  never 
destroy  all. 

An  examination  of  these  books  shows  that,  unfortu- 
nately, no  list  of  the  membership  of  the  church  was  kept 
from  the  beginning.  The  record  of  births  and  baptisms, 
marriages  and  funerals,  along  with  certain  other  matters 
was,  however,  carefully  kept,  albeit  in  handwriting  occa- 


sionally crabbed  even  to  provocation.  In  the  earlier  years 
the  handwriting  was  something  marvellous,  and  from  be- 
ginning to  end  was  embarrassed  by  a  singular  admixture 
of  the  English  way  of  writing.  This  English  tendency  in 
the  script  increases  as  the  years  go  by,  and  in  the  latter 
days  of  Father  Pomp  held  almost  an  even  chance  with  the 
German  —  the  records  being  made  indifferently  in  Ger- 
man or  English,  apparently  as  the  mood  held  the  scribe. 
And  not  only  this,  but  what  is  even  more  puzzling  at  times 
is  the  way  in  which  letters  in  the  same  word  are  formed, 
now  after  the  rule  of  the  one   language,  and  again  after 


14         The  First  Reformed  Church  of  East  on  ^  Pa. 

that  of  the   other.     Though,  on  the   whole,  these  records 
were  well   kept  and   clearly  written,  the   ink  showing  as 


black  at  times  as  the  day  it   left  the  nib  of  the  quill  with 
which  the  writing  was  done.      However,  it   is  provoking 


The  Old  Clmrch  Recoi'd-Books.  15 

how  occasionally  the  family  name  —  the  very  name  that 
is  most  important  of  all  —  was  so  very  indistinctly  and  un- 
certainly written  that  the  author  has  been  obliged  to  spend 
many  hours  with  magnifying  glass  in  hand  trying  to  de- 
cipher the  uncertain  inscription,  it  being  so  very  distress- 
ing that  the  very  thing  you  most  want  is  the  very  thing 
that  is  so  obscure,  while  what  concerns  you  little  is  so  very 
plain. 

Faithful  these  dear  old  scribes  were,  however,  and  hon- 
est as  the  day  was  long.  Though  English  and  German 
and  Latin  be  mixed,  and  family  names  sometimes  spelled 
with  a  small  letter  instead  of  a  capital,  yet  every  essential 
of  a  good,  clear  and  reliable  record  is  here.  Variations 
there  are  in  the  spelling  of  family  names,  indeed,  the  same 
pen  often  failing  to  write  the  same  name  twice  consec- 
utively in  the  same  way — yet  this  is  always  likely  to  hap- 
pen. Whether,  for  example,  it  be  Ehrig,  Ertg,  Ehrich^ 
Erich^  or  some  other  form,  will  probably  not  prevent  the 
family  of  the  Ihrics  from  recognizing  their  ancestors  and 
ancestresses.  But  it  is  to  be  feared  that  if  this  work 
should  ever  fall  into  the  hands  of  a  family  by  the  active 
name  of  Jjimfer,  the  members  thereof  will  hardl}-  know 
their  Colonial  ancestor  under  the  very  odd  way  in  which 
his  name  is  spelled  in  this  book  —  Tschumpe?-.  But  alas  ! 
the  scribe  sometimes  spelled  a  name  phonetically,  and 
wrote  it  down  in  the  book  just  as  it  sounded  to  the  ear, 
leaving  matters  to  a  more  critical  period  for  disentangle- 
ment ;  and  the  letter  ]  being  always  a  difficult  task  for  the 
German  tongue,  nothing  better  could  be  done  for  it  than 
honor  it  with  the  combined  sound  of  t,  s,  c  and  h. 

The  most  remarkable  case  of  this  kind  gave  the  trans- 
lator a  world  of  trouble.  Here  was  a  family  name,  plainly 
written  Mokelerei.     It  was  indeed  a  strange  name.     One 


1 6  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

hesitated  to  put  it  down,  lest  nobody  want  it,  or  even  own 
it.  But  there  was  no  getting  around  it ;  there  it  was,  and 
so  down  it  went  as  it  was  written — Jfokelcrci.  And  what 
fine  family,  think  you,  hides  behind  that  odd-looking 
name?  After  much  study  and  careful  consideration  of  the 
matter,  the  translator  ventures  the  opinion  that  Mc Chary 
is  the  family  name  intended.  These  old  German  scribes 
do  not  appear  to  have  been  familiar  with  the  method  and 
manner  of  writing  Scotch  names,  the  Mc's  and  Mac's  be- 
ing quite  beyond  them,  as  is  shown  in  this  record  by  the 
name  "  Mecdantel.''  When  therefore  a  man  by  the  name 
of  McCleary  presented  himself  for  marriage  or  the  bap- 
tism of  his  child,  the  good  German  pastor  could  do  nothing 
better  than  simply  write  the  name  in  the  book  as  it  sounded 
to  his  ear,  and  there  it  stands  to  this  day — ^^  Mokelerei.'^ 

From  the  fact  that  at  a  very  early  day  there  were  Eng- 
lish and  Scotch  people  here  at  the  settlement  of  "  The 
Forks  of  the  Delaware,"  it  has  been  argued  that  there 
must  have  been  an  English  Church  established  here  at  an 
early  period.  It  is  ver}'^  doubtful.  No  trace  of  any  Eng- 
lish Church  in  Easton,  in  any  regular  way,  can  be  found 
prior  to  the  year  1800,  the  records  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  beginning  181 1.  That  an  English  Church  could 
have  once  existed  here  and  become  entirely  extinct,  leaving 
no  trace  of  itself,  is  hardly  possible.  Where  the  English 
portion  of  the  community  attended  services  we  know  not, 
but  that  many  of  them  brought  their  children  to  the  Ger- 
mans for  baptism,  and  that  not  a  few  of  them  were  married 
by  the  German  pastors,  these  following  records  abundantly 
show.  Prior  to  1813  one  notices  the  following  names, 
taken  at  random  from  these  pages  :

Gray  Potter  McDaniel 

Barnes  Hayden  Lumerson

Patterson  Longerson  Reeder 

Palmer  Magrann  Taylor,  etc. 

One  notices  here  the  inscription  of  certain  names  famous 
in  the  history  of  Pennsylvania,  or  of  the  country  at  large. 
Here  is  the  name  of  George  Taylor,  one  of  the  signers  of 
the  Declaration;  the  name  of  Robert  Traill,  very  promi- 
nent in  the  early  days  of  the  settlement;  the  name  of 
George  Wolf,  Governor  of  Pennsylvania ;  the  name  of 
Andrew  Horatio  Reeder,  the  first  Governor  of  Kansas. 
Sometimes  these  honorable  and  distinguished  men  were 
present  at  the  communion  ;  sometimes  they  figured  either 
as  principals  or  subjects  at  a  baptism  ;  but  it  is  to  their 
everlasting  honor  that  they  despised  not  the  Church  of 
Jesus  Christ,  even  though  its  services  were  conducted  in 
an  unknown  tongue. 

One  cannot  help  the  reflection,  indeed,  as  he  turns  over 
the  pages  of  these  old  church  books,  that  one  of  the  in- 
cidental blessings  of  membership  in  the  Christian  Church 
is  the  preservation  of  the  name  and  the  memory  of  its 
members.  Here  are  the  names  of  many  thousands  of 
people,  long  since  dead  and  gone,  and  the  best  and  most 
certain  trace  that  can,  in  most  instances,  be  found  of  them 


1 8  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

one  must  look  for  in  the  church  books.  Connection  with 
the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  immortalizes.  "  The  memory 
of  the  just  is  blessed,  but  the  name  of  the  wicked  shall 
rot." 

It  has  been  the  aim  of  the  translator  to  preserve,  as  far 
as  possible,  especially  in  the  earlier  years,  the  old  time 
phraseology  of  the  record  and  the  German  method  of  spell- 
ing the  Christian  or  baptismal  names.  There  seems  in 
this  period  to  have  been  a  painful  paucity  of  first  names, 
the  majority  of  the  children  receiving  but  one  name  apiece, 
usually  Johannes  if  it  were  a  boy,  and  Anfia  Jlfaria, 
Catharina^  or  Elisabetha  if  a  girl ;  and  often,  the  longer 
the  child's  name  the  shorter  his  life.  Boys  and  girls  ap- 
pear for  baptism  with  remarkable  regard  for  the  parity  of 
the  sexes,  and  most  of  them  are  baptized  on  Sunday,  and 
very  soon  after  they  are  born,  thus  showing  the  high  re- 
gard in  which  the  sacrament  of  baptism  was  held. 

The  attention  of  the  reader  is  called  to  these  records  as 
showing  the  lamentable  death  rate  prevailing  amongst  chil- 
dren a  hundred  years  ago.  The  writer  casts  his  eye  over 
two  pages  of  his  manuscript,  taken  at  random  and  counts 
on  the  one  page  twelve  deaths  of  children  out  of  a  total  of 
twenty-six ;  and  on  another  page,  eighteen  out  of  thirty — 
that  is  to  say,  out  of  thirty  deaths  eighteen  were  children. 

This  rate  is  kept  up  regularly  for  many  years,  and  con- 
trasts most  painfully  with  the  record  of  deaths  made  by  the 
pastor  of  the  church  at  the  present  time.  Few  children 
die  now  —  many  children  died  then.  The  present  pastor 
attends  the  funerals  of  two  or  three  children  in  a  year  to 
those  of  fifteen  or  twenty  adults — a  hundred  years  ago  the 
chances  were  that  at  least  one  half  the  deaths  were  those 
of  children.  This  fact  speaks  loudly  in  praise  of  modern 
methods    of    sanitation,    acquaintance    with    the    laws    of 


The  Old  Chttrch  Record-Books.

hygiene,  and  the  increased  number  and  efficiency  of  the 
men  of  the  medical  profession.  In  those  early  days  physi- 
cians were  few  and  far  between ;  people  knew  very  little 
about  the  laws  of  health ;  warm  clothing  in  the  severe 
winter  was  scarce  and  dear,  and  well-warmed  houses  un- 
known. Verily,  it  was  a  struggle  for  existence,  and  the 
weakest  went  to  the  wall ;  the  hard  conditions  of  pioneer 
life  caused  this  "  Slaughter  of  the  Innocents,"  and  many 
a  Rachael  "  wept  for  her  children  and  would  not  be  com- 
forted because  they  were  not." 


THE   INDIAN  TREATY  IN  THE  CHURCH,  JAN- 
UARY 30,   1777. 


AS  has  been  said  in  a  former  chapter,  *•  The  Forks 
of  the  Delaware  "  was  a  famous  place  for  hold- 
ing treaties  with  the  Indians.  Not  only  during 
the  Revolution  but  long  before,  in  the  old  Colo- 
nial times,  when  Pennsylvania  was  yet  a  British  posses- 
sion and  governed  by  the  proprietaries  of  the  English 
Crown,  the  Indians  manifested  a  steady  preference  for  this 
romantic  spot  as  a  most  agreeable  place  in  which  to 
"  liffht  the  council  fire."  Hither  on  numerous  occasions 
the  red-men  came  from  great  distances  to  meet  the  pale- 
faces, their  conferences  lasting  sometimes  for  several 
weeks.  The  Indians  seem  to  have  been  fond  of  these 
meetings,  and  to  have  multiplied  reasons  for  holding  them 
as  frequently  as  possible,  urging  the  necessity  of  such  con- 
ferences when  the  Council  or  Congress  could  scarcely  see 
the  need  for  them.  And  no  w^onder.  The  red-man  knew 
that  these  treaties  furnished  him  an  excellent  opportunit}'-  of 
testing  the  liberality  of  his  white  brothers  who  had  many 
strange  things  to  give  which  the  Indian  dearly  loved,  and 
which  he  could  obtain  nowhere  else  —  glass  beads,  silver 
jewelry  and  ornaments,  guns  and  powder  and  lead,  axes, 
blanket  and  kettles,  and  other  things  too  numerous  to 
mention,  to  say  nothing  of  the  rum  which,  alas  !  the  In- 
dian fondly  expected  at  all  these  meetings. 

Prior  to  the  building  of  the  Reformed  Church,  during 
a  period  of  not  less  than  forty  years,  numerous  treaties 
were  here  made,  the  meetings  being  always  held  at 
"Vernon's    Tavern"    at    "The    Point."     At    such    times

The  Indian  Treaty  in  the  Church.  21 

Easton  was  full  of  Indians,  not  less  than  five  hundred  be- 
ing present  on  one  occasion,  representing  nineteen  distinct 
and  separate  tribes.  But  after  the  erection  of  the  church 
in  1776  it  was  thought  well  to  hold  the  treaty  within  the 
walls  of  that  building,  because  it  was  the  largest  and  most 
commodious  edifice  in  the  town.  The  writer  has  been  at 
some  pains  to  gather  all  the  information  possible  concern- 
ing this  treaty  of  1777,  having  carefully  examined  the 
early  "Journals  of  Congress,"  and  the  "  Minutes  of  the 
Council  of  Safety,"  as  given  in  "  The  Colonial  Records," 
and  believes  that  for  the  first  time  there  is  here  published 
a  connected  record  of  all  the  documents  pertaining  to  that 
important  event  in  our  local  history.  Thus  we  read  in  the 
"Journals  of  Congress,"  Vol.  III.,  page  36  : 

"Whereas  Congress  ai-e  informed  that  certain  tribes  of  Indians 
living  in  the  back  parts  of  the  country,  near  the  waters  of  the 
Susquehanna  who  are  within  the  Confederacy  and  under  the  pro- 
tection of  The  Six  Nations,  the  friends  and  allies  of  the  United 
States,  are,  upon  motives  friendly  and  peaceable,  now  on  their 
way  to  Easton  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  and  whereas  such 
may  be  the  poor  and  necessitous  circumstances  of  these  Indians 
as  to  demand  the  attention  of  Congress — 

"  Resolved^  That  the  Committee  of  Congress  at  Philadelphia 
deliver  to  George  Walton  and  George  Taylor,  Esquires,  or  either 
of  them,  looo  dollars  :  who  are  directed  therewith  to  purchase 
such  presents  as  may  be  suitable  for  the  said  Indians :  and  that 
one  or  both  of  them  repair  forthwith  to  Easton,  and  in  the  name 
of  this  Congress  inform  the  said  Indians  that,  although  in  the 
opinion  of  Congress,  it  is  altogether  improper  for  them  to  kindle 
a  Council  Fire  at  that  place,  as  they  have  already  done  the  same 
at  Albany  where,  by  their  Commissioners,  they  hold  their  Coun- 
cils and  communicate  every  matter  of  importance  to  their  good 
friends.  The  Six  Nations  and  their  allies,  of  which  these  tribes 
are  a  part ;  yet,  in  regard  to  the  good  and  peaceable  conduct  of 


2  2  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

these  nations,  and  in  consideration  of  their  wants,  which  this 
Congress  are  much  inclined  to  relieve,  and  also  in  token  of  their 
friendship  for  them,  as  well  as  for  all  other  Indians  who  are  at 
peace  with  these  United  States,  they,  the  said  George  Walton 
and  George  Taylor,  Esquires,  are  directed  to  deliver  these 
presents  to  them,  and  that  they  are  to  signify  at  the  same  time 
to  the  said  Indians  that  this  Congress  have  an  entire  confidence 
that  the  same  peaceable  and  friendly  conduct  will  be  observed 
by  them  which  they  have  hitherto  regarded. 

"  Ordered^  That  the  said  Messieurs  Walton  and  Taylor  be 
furnished  a  copy  of  the  foregoing  resolution  for  their  direction." 

Next  in  order  we  read  in  "  The  Colonial  Records,"  Vol. 
XI.,  page  96,  in  the  "  Minutes  of  the  Council  of  Safety" 
as  follows  : 

"January  20,  1777.  Resolved^  That  Col.  Dean  and  Col.  Bull 
be  appointed  to  attend  the  Treaty  to  be  held  with  the  Indians  at 
Easton,  Monday  next,  on  behalf  of  this  Council :  when  they  are 
to  advise  and  concur  with  the  Committee  of  Assembly  and  Con- 
gress in  all  such  measures  as  they  shall  think  proper,  to  preserve 
peace  and  harmony  with  the  Indian  nations." 

From  the  same  Minutes  under  date  of  the  day  following 
we  learn  that  the  following  additional  action  was  taken  : 

"January  21,  1777.  Resolved  that  Mr  Thomas  Payne  be  ap- 
pointed Secretary  to  the  Commissioners  for  the  Indian  Treaty 
to  be  held  at  Easton  on  Monday  next." 

That  the  five  commissioners  so  far  named  might  not  ap- 
pear at  the  treaty  empty-handed,  and  well  knowing  the 
great  expectations  of  the  Indians,  the  Committee  of  Public 
Safety  gave  specific  directions  as  to  the  kind  and  number 
of  presents  to  be  provided  for  the  occasion.  For,  on  page 
108,  Vol.  XL,  Colonial  Records,  it  is  stated  that 

"An  order  was  sent  to  Hayman  (Ilaman  ?)  Levy  to  make 
up  an  assortment  of  articles  fit  for  a  Treaty  with   70  Indians 


The  Indian  Treaty  in  the  Church.  23 

(exclusive  of  women  and  children).  He  accordingly  pack'd 
up  the  following  Goods,  for  which  a  receipt  was  given  by  the 
Secretary. 

9,600  White  Wampum. 
20,500  Black  Wampum. 
30  Moons. 

30  Hair  Pipes  of  Conk  Shell. 
6  Pair  Arm  bands. 
12  Gordiots. 
100  Broaches. 
37  Pair  Ear-Bobs. 

All  of  silver,  which  with  15  Camp  Kettles  were  this  day  for- 
warded to  Cols.  Bull  and  Deane,  Commissioners  on  the  part  of 
this  Council  at  Easton." 

The  wampum  probably  consisted  of  beads  of  glass,  white 
or  black,  the  white  being  the  wampum  proper,  the  Indians 
making  them  of  the  interior  parts  of  shells  strung  on  threads. 
"  Wampum  was  highly  esteemed  amongst  the  American 
aborigines,  being  used  as  currency  amongst  them,  and 
worn  also  in  necklaces,  bracelets,  belts,  scabbards,  etc. 
Three  of  the  dark,  or  six  of  the  white  passed  for  one  Eng- 
lish penny.  Wampum  was  woven  into  belts  of  various  pat- 
terns, into  which  dates,  treaties  and  national  events  were 
'talked.'" 

The  white  and  black  beads  w^ere  used  for  the  purpose 
of  making  treaty  belts.  These  were  often  made  on  the 
spot  by  the  Indian  women  who  were  present,  being  prob- 
ably brought  along  for  this  purpose.  Thus,  at  the  treaty 
held  at  Easton  in  1756,  in  the  month  of  July,  at  which  coun- 
cil Teedyuscung,  the  King  of  the  Delawares,  was  present, 
we  read  that  Conrad  Weiser,  the  Indian  Interpreter,  said 
that  "The  French  gave  great  quantities  of  wampum 
to  their  Indians,  and  on  matters  of  consequence  these  belts 


24  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

were  several  fathoms  long,  and  very  wide.  The  secretary 
was  ordered  to  bring  all  the  wampum  he  had  into  the 
Council,  viz.,  fifteen  strings  and  seven  belts;  a  parcel  of 
new  black  wampum,  amounting  to  seven  thousand  ;  and 
having  no  new  white  wampum,  nor  any  proper  belt  to 
give  in  return  for  Teedyuscung's  peace  belts,  a  messenger 
was  sent  to  Bethlehem  and  he  returned  with  five  thousand  ; 
upon  which  the  Indian  women  were  employed  to  make  a 
belt  a  fathom  long  (6  feet)  and  sixteen  beads  wide,  in  the 
center  of  which  was  to  be  the  figure  of  a  man,  meaning 
the  Governor  of  Pennsylvania,  and  on  each  side  five  other 
figures,  meaning  the  Ten  Nations  mentioned  by  Teed3^us- 
cung.  .  .  .  The  new  belt  not  being  finished  during  the 
sessions  of  the  Council,  the  Governor  explained  the  pro- 
posed figure  to  the  chiefs,  and  desired  the  women  might 
finish  it  on  rainy  days,  or  resting  on  their  journey,  which 
was  promised." 

What  the  *'  Moons"  were,  and  the  **  Hair  Pipes  of  Conk 
Shell,"  and  the  "  Gordiots,"  the  reader  can  ascertain  by 
guessing,  or  by  further  inquiry,  as  the  mood  may  chance 
to  hold  him.  These  gaudy  baubles  no  doubt  caught  the 
eye  and  held  the  admiration  of  the  poor  Indians  to  a  de- 
gree unimaginable  by  us,  and  contributed  largelv  to  the 
importance  of  the  treat}'. 

In  what  way  "Messieurs"  Walton  and  Taylor  and 
Payne  reached  the  scene  of  the  Council  we  know  not,  but 
evidently  Colonel  John  Bull,  true  to  his  English  name  and 
moved  by  his  American  instincts,  lost  no  time  in  setting 
forth  from  Philadelphia  for  Easton,  a  journey  on  horse- 
back of  some  eighty  miles  in  extent,  as  we  learn  by  con- 
sulting the  "  Penna.  Archives,"  1776-7,  page  201,  from  a 
letter  written  by  this  gentleman  to  the  Council  from  Norri- 
ton  in  Montgomery  County.

Col.  John  Bull  to  the  Council,  1777. 

Sir:  VVe  have  left  the  Council  without  any  instructions  and 
Whether  we  are  to  have  any,  or  who  shall  give  them,  Congress, 
Council  of  Safety  or  Assembly,  I  will  not  undertake  to  say,  but 
when  I  waited  upon  ISIr  Robert  Morris,  he  informed  me  that  they 
had  wrote  to  Congress,  and  that  if  any  answer  arrived  In  time  it 
aught  to  be  sent  forward  to  Eastown.  I  take  the  liberty  of  Com- 
municating a  few  hints  which  I  think  aught  to  be  attended  to 
unless  we  are  instructed  to  the  Contrary.  If  we  find  them  well 
disposed,  we  shall  try  to  cultivate  a  good  understanding  with 
them,  and  Likewise  Lay  the  Ground-work  of  a  Great  Treaty 
next  Summer,  at  such  time  and  Place  as  may  Suit  them  best, 
but  I  think  under  our  Circumstances  Something  Bestowed  in  that 
way  to  Continue  the  friendship  of  the  Indians  may  be  of  infinite 
advantage,  under  our  present  struggle,  and  at  the  same  time  it 
will  be  Necessary  to  assure  them  of  our  own  Sufficiency  and 
Strength  in  Carrying  on  this  war  against  our  Enemies,  how  farr 
it  will  be  Prudent  or  Practicable  to  Explain  the  Cause  thereof  I 
have  not  yet  fully  Deliberated  upon.

Two  days  later  he  reached  Easton  after  a  long  and  tire- 
some two  days'  journey  on  horseback,  having  Col.  Dean

fact  is  not  mentioned.  At  once  upon  his  arrival  he  writes 
the  following  letter,  to  keep  the  Council  well  informed  as 
to  the  progress  of  the  treaty  : 

Sir — We  are  just  arrived  at  Eastown,  where  we  found  about

Disposed,  though  much  in  want  of  Every  Necessary,  one  article

N.  B.  Please  to  send  the  Medals  which  Mr  Syng  promised 
to  send  to  the  Council,  if  they  are  come  to  hand — if  not,  send

quence. 

Directed  to  Hon.  Thos.  Wharton  Esqr. 

Pres.  of  Te  Council  of  Safety. 

The  worthy  Colonel,  despite  his  British  cognomen,  is 
evidently  a  thorough  American  patriot,  and  believes  in  early 
rising  and  in  losing  no  time  in  pressing  matters  to  an  issue. 
He  is  evidently  a  good  Commissioner,  and  keeps  an  eye  on 
the  chief  and  salient  features  of  the  occasion,  being  more 
concerned  for  the  camp-kettles  for  the  Indians  than  for 
the  medals  for  himself  and  his  fellow  Commissioners.  Or, 
were  those  medals  intended  for  the  Indians?  Who  knows? 
But  no  matter.  Let  them  go,  if  need  be,  but  send  on  by 
all  means  the  fifteen  camp-kettles,  a  very  necessary  and 
highly  valuable  present  to  the  poor  Indian  who,  alas  !  has 
not  the  knowledge  how  to  make  them.  He  can  bring  down 
the  deer  with  his  rifle,  or  the  wild  turkey  with  his  bow  and 
arrow,  but  how  to  make  a  camp-kettle  is  quite  beyond  him. 
For  that  he  is  dependent  on  the  white  man  ;  he  will  give  a

hundred  acres,  or  a  thousand  if  hard  pressed,  for  one  camp- 
kettle,  poor  son  of  Nature  ! 

Though  apparently  quite  eager  for  the  conference  to 
open,  the  Colonel  is  perforce  compelled  to  await,  as  patiently 
as  he  can,  the  arrival  of  the  Congressional  representatives 
on  the  Commission,  "  Messieurs  "  Taylor  and  Walton,  who 
did  not  reach  Easton  until  the  day  following  the  date  of  the 
above  letter.  Whether  Payne  had  accompanied  Dean  and 
Bull,  or  traveled  in  company  with  Taylor  and  Walton,  we 
have  no  means  of  knowing.  The  following  letter  gives  us 
some  information  concerning  the  opening  of  the  Treaty — 
and  much  we  wish  it  gave  us  more. 

Easton,  Jan.  31  1777 

Sir — The  delegates  from  Congress,  Colls.  Taylor  and  Walton 
arrived  on  Wednesday,  ye  29*'',  and  yesterday,  ye  30^'',  we  opened 
the  Treaty.  When  the  Indians  Delivered  Two  Strings,  Three 
Belts,  and  about  half  their  Talk,  they  having  Three  belts  more 
to  deliver  this  day,  the  Indians  seem  to  be  inclined  to  act  the 
Wise  Part  with  Respect  to  the  present  Dispute,  if  they  are  to  be 
relied  on  they  mean  to  be  Neuter.  We  have  already  Learnt  their 
good  Intentions  and  Great  Expectations  in  receiving  Presents. 
However  I  think  we  have  full  as  much  with  us  as  will  satisfy 
them,  we  have  not  a  word  of  news  here,  more  Soldiers  Return- 
ing from  than  are  going  to  the  Camp,  I  hope  that  is  not  the  case 
in  Philadelphia.  I  am.  Sir,

No  one  can  possibly  more  regret  than  the  writer  the 
unfortunate  lack  of  any  more  specific  information  concern- 
ing this  treaty.  A  careful  search  of  all  the  published  rec- 
ords fails  to  yield  anything  further.  A  respectful  request 
to  the  Librarian  of  Congress  at  Washington  elicits  only 
the  information  that  "we  have  not  been  able  to  find  any 
record  of  the  proceedings  of  the  conference  with  the  Indians 
at  Easton,  Penna.,  in  1777."  Conway,  in  his  life  of 
Thomas  Paine,  says  that  Paine  was  appointed  by  the 
Council  of  Safety  in  Philadelphia  Secretary  to  the  Com- 
mission sent  by  Congress  to  treat  with  the  Indians  at 
Easton.  The  Commissioners,  with  a  thousand  dollars' 
worth  of  presents,  met  the  Indian  chiefs  in  the  German 
Reformed  Church  (built  1776)  and,  as  they  reported  to 
Congress,  '  after  shaking  hands,  drinking  rum,  while  the 
organ  played,  we  proceeded  to  business.'  The  report  was 
no  doubt  written  by  Paine,  who  for  his  services  was  paid 
300  pounds  by  the  Pennsylvania  Assembly.  ...  I  have 
written  to  the  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs,  asking  if 
the  records  are  to  be  found  in  the  Archives  of  that  Depart- 
ment. When  he  replies  I  will  transmit  the  information  to 
you."  All  of  which  is  properly  signed  by  the  Chief  Bibliog- 
rapher of  the  Congressional  Library  —  but  the  Commis- 
sioner of  I-ndian  Affairs  has  not  yet  been  heard  from,  and 
quite  likely  will  not  be.  The  Commission  must  evidently 
have  made  a  report  to  Congress,  and  that  report  must  be 
somewhere — but  where?  The  report  in  question  must 
evidently  be  the  authority  for  the  statement  so  frequently 
made,  in  "  Conway's  Life  of  Thomas  Paine,"  in  the 
'*  History  of  the  Lehigh  Valley,"  and  in  the  following 
sketch  of  the  Reformed  Church  of  Easton  written  by  Dr. 
John  Beck,  that  "  the  Commissioners  met  the  Indians  in 
the  German  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  and  after  shak- 


30  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

ing  hands  and  drinking  rum  together,  during  which  time 
the  organ  was  played,  they  proceeded  to  business." 

In  the  absence  of  any  further  information  one  is  left  to 
imagine  the  scene  —  the  high  commissioners  of  Congress 
in  their  best  new  Continental  uniforms  taking  their  places 
in  front  of  the  pulpit  (which  was  then  on  the  east  side  of 
the  church),  and  the  seventy  Indians  arrayed  in  their 
feathers  and  war-paint  slowly  filing  in  and  bestowing 
themselves  in  the  aisles  or  pews,  or  where  best  they  might. 
The  solemn  tones  of  the  organ  are  heard,  the  handshak- 
ing begins,  the  rum  is  passed  round,  and  the  treaty  duly 
opened.  Through  an  interpreter  sworn  to  interpret  truly, 
the  Commissioners  make  an  address,  conveying  the  good 
will  of  Congress  as  expressed  in  the  generous  donation  of 
gifts  adroitly  displayed  on  the  chancel  floor,  demanding 
in  return  the  support  of  the  Indian  tribes,  or  at  least  their 
neutrality,  in  the  struggle  in  which  they,  the  said  Congress 
and  people  of  the  United  States,  are  engaged  with  their 
enemies.  The  speaker  reminds  the  Indians  in  the  usual 
manner : 

*'  Brothers — You  have  been  faithful  in  your  leagues  with  us: 
your  hearts  have  been  clean,  and  you  have  preserved  our  Great 
Chain  of  Friendship  and  Brotherhood  from  spots  or  rust,  or  if 
there  were  any,  you  have  been  careful  to  wipe  them  away. 
Your  leagues  with  our  fathers  are  in  writing  on  record,  that  our 
Children  and  our  Children's  Children  may  have  them  in  everlast- 
ing remembrance.  And  we  know  that  you  preserve  the  mem- 
ory of  these  things  amongst  you  by  telling  them  to  your  Children 
and  they  again  to  the  next  generation,  so  that  they  remain 
stamped  on  your  minds  never  to  be  forgot,  while  the  creeks  ai\d

"  Brothers — You  know  well  how  our  enemies,  once  our 
friends  and  brothers,  but  now  our  friends  and  brothers  no  more, 


The  Indian  Treaty  in  the  C/uL?'ch.  31 

for  their  friendship  was  in  the  mouth  and  not  in  the  heart,  have 
tried  to  take  away  our  lands  from  us  which  our  fathers  purchased 
of  your  fathers  many  moons  ago,  and  have  sent  armies  across 
the  Great  Waters  to  make  us  their  slaves.  With  our  brave 
soldiers  we  will  fight  them,  and  be  free,  doing  as  you  do  when 
your  enemies  come  upon  you  to  take  away  your  lands  and  drive 
you  from  your  homes.  They  shall  be  beaten  off,  and  driven  out 
of  our  Country,  and  there  shall  be  here  but  one  great,  strong  and 
powerful  Nation  of  white  men,  from  the  rising  to  the  setting 
Sun,  the  friends  and  protectors  of  our  brothers,  the  Indians. 
We  wish  you  to  speak  with  your  people  at  home  to  make  a  new 
League  and  Chain  of  Brotherhood  with  our  people,  and  that 
every  Link  in  the  Chain  be  kept  bright  and  clean  :  and  that  if  you 
wish  not  to  fight  for  us  against  our  enemies,  you  remain  at  home 
and  sit  still  and  look  on,  for  why  should  your  blood  be  shed  in  this 
quarrel,  and  be  in  peace  on  your  own  lands,  until  we  have  driven 
our  enemies  away,  as  we  will  surely  do,  and  when  we  have 
finished  this  friendly  Treaty  with  you,  we  have  a  present  for 
you,  from  the  Congress  and  people  of  The  United  States,  which 
you  shall  carry  with  you  home,  and  show  to  your  friends,  as  a 
pledge  of  our  good-will  and  brotherhood,  and  in  token  of  the 
enduring  Chain  of  Friendship  between  us  and  you." 

Saying  which  the  speaker  sat  down,  and  the  Indians 
made  a  peculiar  sound  of  approval  beyond  our  power  here 
to  reproduce  ;  after  which  Taasquah,  or  King  Charles, 
one  of  the  great  chiefs  of  the  Kayugas,  arose,  and,  with 
the  assistance  of  other  Indians  of  lesser  note,  laid  down  three 
bundles  of  dressed  deer  skins,  and  presented  two  strings  of 
wampum  and  three  belts,  saying : 

"That  their  friends  and  brothers,  coming  from  the  great 
Council  with  kind  hearts  and  good  words,  had  spoken  well : 
that  they  were  highly  pleased  that  they  had  been  so  kindly  re- 
ceived, and  that  they  were  ver}'  willing  and  desirous  that  there 
may  be  more  frequent  opportunities  of  conferring  and  discussing 


32  The  Fijst  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

with  their  brethren,  so  that  the  Chain  may  be  kept  bright  and 
without  rust  or  spot,  and  that  only  good  may  be  in  the  heart. 
Also,  that  they  well  understood  that  the  Great  King  beyond  the 
water  had  not  treated  his  cliildrcn  in  this  land  well,  and  that  this 
is  the  reason  for  the  present  war,  in  which  they  will  not  engage 
one  way  or  the  other,  until  they  have  taken  counsel  of  their 
brethren  at  Albany,  when  the  great  Council-Fire  is  again  lighted, 
which  will  be  soon,  and  that  meanwhile  they  will  be  at  peace 
with  the  Congress  and  people  of  the  United  States:  in  token  and 
pledge  of  which  peaceful  sentiments  they  present  these  strings 
and  belts  of  wampum." 

Whereupon  the  Indians  all  gave  their  peculiar  and  inde- 
scribable sound  of  assent  and  ratification  which  nothing 
short  of  a  phonograph  could  ever  hope  to  reproduce. 

The  translation  and  interpretation  of  these  addresses  into 
the  language  of  the  different  tribes  represented  occupied 
so  much  time  that  the  better  part  of  the  day  was  consumed 
in  the  process,  and  in  the  accompan34ng  ceremonies ;  so 
that  the  Council  adjourned  to  meet  the  next  day ;  when 
the  treaty  was  concluded,  much  after  the  same  fashion, 
the  conclusion  thereof  being  accompanied  by  the  distri- 
bution of  the  gifts  provided,  and  above  enumerated,  to  the 
great  delight  of  the  Indians,  in  whose  eyes  ornaments  of 
silver  had  an  especial  value.  Warm  clothing  should  have 
been  more  acceptable  to  them  at  that  bitter  season  of  the 
year,  and  in  view  of  the  long  journey  of  more  than  three 
hundred  miles  before  them  on  their  way  home  to  the  lakes 
of  western  New  York,  for  the  snow  was  deep  on  the 
ground  and  the  cold  intense,  even  in  Easton,  and  much 
more  so  amongst  the  Pocono  mountains  beyond  the  Blue 
Ridge  which  they  must  cross.  One  can  only  wonder  how 
or  where  they  were  lodged  during  their  stay  in  the  town. 
In  all  probability  they  erected  their  wigwams  at  the  foot  of 


The  Indian  Treaty  in  the  Church.  33 

Mount  Jefferson,  or  under  the  lee  of  some  of  the  other 
mighty  hills  of  the  "  Forks  of  the  Delaware  "  which  would 
shield  them  against  the  cold  blasts  of  the  north  wind,  and 
the  abundant  forests  on  the  sides  of  these  hills  furnished 
ample  fuel  for  the  great  fires  of  their  camp.  The  people 
of  the  town,  numbering  at  that  time  about  four  or  five 
hundred  souls,  breathed  more  easily  after  the  excitement 
of  this  great  gathering,  when  they  saw  the  camp  break  up, 
and  the  Indians,  single  file  and  in  long  line,  taking  their 
way  over  the  Bushkill  and  up  Chestnut  Hill,  making  for  the 
Wind  Gap  in  the  Blue  Mountains  and  the  far-away  settle- 
ments on  the  Susquehanna,  or  in  the  Genesee  country, 
whence  they  had  come.  No  doubt  the  poor  squaws  carried 
the  camp-kettles,  so  precious  in  the  eyes  of  these  poor 
children  of  nature,  and  no  doubt  each  camp-kettle  was 
well  loaded  before  it  was  strapped  on  the  back ;  but  happy 
indeed  was  each  dark-skinned  daughter  of  the  forest  if  the 
cruel  burden  on  the  back  was  counter-balanced  by  the 
shining  presence  of  a  silver  band  about  the  arm  or  a  pair 
of  glittering  "  ear-bobs"  in  the  ears  —  the  marvellous  gift 
of  the  pale-faced  friend  and  brother. 

The  chief  object  of  this  treaty,  viz.,  To  detach  the 
powerful  confederacy  of  the  Six  Nations  from  the  British, 
or  at  least  to  secure  their  neutrality,  does  not  seem  to  have 
been  secured;  for  in  the  following  year,  on  Julv  3,  1778, 
the  great  and  awful  massacre  at  Wyoming  occurred.

BY    REV.  JOHN    BECK,    D.D.,    PASTOR. 


The  ancient  Jews  were  required  by  divine  command  to 
celebrate  a  year  of  jubilee,  at  the  expiration  of  every  fifty 
years  of  their  history.  God  designed  thereby  to  impress 
upon  their  minds  the  great  truth  that  their  existence  as  a 
nation,  their  time,  their  property,  and  all  the  blessings  and 
events  of  providence,  were  from  His  hand  and  under  His

omnipotent  control.  This  divine  command  appointing  this 
great  festival  seems  to  have  fully  harmonized  with  a  senti- 
ment which  existed  in  the  hearts  of  the  people,  and  no 
one  of  the  many  festivals  observed  by  the  Jews  was  cele- 
brated with  more  spirit  and  display  than  characterized  the 
observance  of  the  year  of  jubilee.  The  return  of  the 
year  was  not  only  hailed  throughout  the  land  with  the 
sound  of  trumpets,  which  echoed  and  reechoed  from 
every  hill  and  valley,  throughout  the  whole  year,  but  great 
gladness  of  heart  and  general  manifestation  of  joy  and 
rejoicing  marked  the  conduct  of  the  people. 

Twice  the  period  of  time  embraced  in  a  Jewish  jubilee 
anniversary  festival  has  passed  in  our  national  history. 
One  hundred  years  ago  to-day  the  foundations  of  our  ex- 
istence as  a  nation  were  laid  broad  and  deep  in  the  prin- 
ciples of  liberty,  justice  and  equality,  by  the  Declaration 
of  Independence  ;  and  we,  as  a  nation,  are  this  year  cele- 
brating our  centennial  anniversary — our  centennial  jubilee. 
By  a  happy  coincidence,  this  year  is  also  the  centennial 
year  of  the  founding  of  this  church  building  in  which  we 
are  now  assembled.  In  view  of  this  fact,  and  for  other 
reasons,  it  was  thought  meet  and  right,  by  the  consistory 
of  this  congregation,  to  anticipate  by  several  months  the 
real  date  of  the  founding  of  this  church,  and  to  combine 
the  centennial  celebration  both  of  the  founding  of  this 
church  and  the  founding  of  our  national  government  on 
this  day,  and  to  make  the  services  both  religious  and  patri- 
otic in  their  character. 

The  patriotic  part  of  the  services  has  been  committed  to 
hands  fully  competent  to  perform  it  in  a  manner  worthy  of 
the  day  and  of  the  occasion.  The  especial  duty  assigned 
to  me  is  to  present  an  historical  sketch  of  the  origin  and 
growth  of  this  congregation  and  of  the  founding  of  this 


36         The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

church,  which  I  now,  without  further  preface,  proceed  to 
discharge. 

Historians  tell  us  that  the  beginnings  of  the  history  of 
all  tribes  and  nations  is  enshrouded  in  more  or  less  mist 
and  obscurity.  Whether  this  is  true,  as  a  general  fact,  I 
am  not  competent  to  affirm,  but  I  can  testify,  after  much 
labor  and  research,  that  the  beginning  of  the  history  of 
this  Reformed  tribe  of  Israel  in  Easton  is  enveloped  in 
mist  and  obscurity  so  dense  that  it  is  utterly  impossible  to 
discover  it.  It  most  certainh'  had  a  beginning,  or  it  would 
not  now  be  existing ;  but  when  and  how  this  beginning 
took  place  no  annals  nor  records  tell,  and  we  can  only  trace 
it  faintly  and  approximately  by  inference  and  conjecture. 

Immigration  from  Germany,  whence  came  originally  by 
far  the  largest  portion  of  the  fathers  and  founders  of  the 
(German)  Reformed  Church  in  the  United  States,  began  to 
flow  into  the  province  of  Pennsylvania  as  early  as  1681. 
The  main  stream  of  this  immigration,  however,  seems  to 
have  begun  to  flow  about  the  year  1720,  and  was  com- 
posed chiefly  of  families  from  the  Palatinate,  a  beautiful 
and  fertile  country  on  the  Rhine.  These  immigrants  were 
chiefly  fugitives  from  political  tyranny  and  religious  perse- 
cution in  their  native  land,  and  came  hither,  not  only  to 
better  their  temporal  condition,  but  mainly  to  find  a  home 
and  a  place  —  a  sanctuary  and  a  refuge  —  in  this  new 
country,  where  they  might  worship  God  according  to  the 
faith  and  customs  of  their  fathers,  without  suffering  perse- 
cution and  martyrdom  either  from  King  or  Pope. 

Many  of  these  early  German  immigrants  of  the  Reformed 
Church  found  a  new  home  for  themselves  in  what  was 
Bucks  County,  and  afterwards  Northampton  County, 
which  at  that  time  not  only  included  what  is  now  called 
Northampton  County,  but  also  what  is  now  Lehigh,  Car-

bon,  Monroe,  Pike,  Wayne,  and  Susquehanna,  and  parts 
of  Wyoming,  Luzerne,  Schuylkill,  Bradford  and  Colum- 
bia. 

From  1725  to  1740  there  was  another  great  influx  of 
Germans  of  various  religious  opinions,  more  than  1,000 
families  of  which  settled  in  Northampton  County.  In  1752 
the  population  of  the  county  numbered  between  5,000  and 
6,000  persons,  not  including  the  Indians,  who  were  nu- 
merous, and  of  these  5,000  or  6,000  inhabitants  800  are 
reported  as  inhabiting  the  "Forks  of  the  Delaware,"  which 
included  what  is  now  Easton,  and  several  of  the  surround- 
ing townships  ;  Easton  proper  containing  at  this  time  but 
eleven  families — about  40  men,  women  and  children.  In 
1763  it  contained  a  population  numbering  about  250,  the 
most  of  whom  are  reported  to  have  been  Germans,  of 
the  Reformed  or  Lutheran  confessions. 

These  Germans,  we  have  said,  were  immigrants  for 
conscience'  sake.  They  fled  from  home  and  country  for  the 
sake  of  their  religion.  Many  of  them  are  said  to  have  been 
*'  truly  pious,  and  though  not  able  to  bring  their  ministers, 
brought  with  them  their  catechisms,  hymn-books,  and  other 
devotional  books,  and,  in  some  cases,  also  pious  school- 
masters." This  being  the  religious  character  of  these  first 
German  settlers  of  Easton,  it  is  not  surprising  to  find  a 
movement  inaugurated  here  so  early  as  1755  to  raise  money 
by  subscription  to  erect  a  building  to  be  used  as  a  school- 
house,  and  also  "to  be  used  occasionally  as  a  church  for 
any  Protestant  minister."  This  movement  was  success- 
ful, and  in  1755  a  log  building  was  erected  on  the  north- 
east corner  of  what  is  now  Church  and  Sitgreaves  streets, 
as  I  have  learned  from  reliable  authority,  and  was  used 
both  for  school  and  church  purposes.  Here  we  have,  then, 
so  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  discover  after  much  research.

38  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

the  first  building  erected  in  Easton  for  church  uses  ;  and 
there  is  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  in  this  log  building, 
erected  in  1755,  our  German  Reformed  forefathers  first 
worshipped  God  after  the  faith  and  order  of  the  (German) 
Reformed  Church,  and  I  have  no  more  doubt  that  the 
worship  was  conducted,  not  by  a  minister,  but  either  by 
some  pious  schoolmaster  or  other  layman.  In  these  early 
years  ministers  of  any  denomination  were  very  few  in 
number  in  the  province  of  Pennsylvania.  Consequently 
pious  members  of  our  church  were  compelled  to  depend 
upon  themselves  for  religious  edification,  and  rather  than 
forego  all  religious  services,  they  accepted  these  from  the 
schoolmasters,  who,  by  singing,  reading,  prayers  and  ser- 
mons, made  up  for  the  people  as  best  they  could  the  want 
of  regular  church  ministrations.  I  make  the  statement  that 
members  of  the  German  Reformed  Church  in  Easton  in 
these  early  days,  between  1740  and  1760,  had  their 
religious  and  church  wants  provided  for  in  this  way ;  first, 
because  it  is  legitimate  to  infer  from  their  religious  char- 
acter and  their  religious  training  in  the  fatherland,  and 
especially  from  the  fact  that  most  of  them  were  exiles  for 
conscience'  sake,  that  they  would  make  the  best  provision 
possible  to  supply  their  religious  and  church  wants  ;  and 
secondly,  as  I  have  not  been  able  to  find,  in  all  the  records 
and  histories  which  I  have  been  able  to  consult,  that  a 
regular  Reformed  minister  of  the  gospel  was  located  in 
Easton  before  1760,  it  is  equally  legitimate  to  infer  that 
the  worship  of  the  congregation  was  conducted  by  some 
pious  schoolmaster  or  other  layman,  especially  as  this  was 
done  at  this  early  day  at  other  places.  Moreover,  I  think 
the  records  and  circumstances  will  warrant  us  to  speak  of 
an  organized  congregation  as  existing  between  the  years 
1745  and  1750.     There  is  no  record  anywhere  of  the  place 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  39 

and  date  of  the  organization  of  a  congregation  ;  but,  never- 
theless, we  have  found  several  records,  and  a  few  well- 
authenticated  facts,  which  point  to  this  period  as  that 
during  which  the  heretofore  scattered  members  of  the 
German  Reformed  Church  of  Easton  and  vicinity  were 
organized  into  a  church. 

1.  Rev.  Michael  Schlatter  was  sent  by  the  Synod  of 
Holland,  in  1746,  to  this  country  for  the  purpose  of  visit- 
ing and  gathering  together  the  scattered  members  of  our 
church,  to  organize  congregations,  and  to  be  over  them  as 
a  superintendent  or  bishop.  He  spent  the  years  from  1747 
to  1750  in  serving  the  Race  Street  Reformed  congregation, 
in  Philadelphia,  and  in  visiting  the  congregations  in  the 
interior  of  the  State,  and  in  Maryland  and  Virginia,  to  ac- 
quaint himself  with  their  numbers  and  conditions,  and  to 
give  them  such  services  and  aid  as  was  in  his  power.  In 
1750  he  was  appointed  by  the  Synod  to  visit  Europe,  espe- 
cially Holland,  Switzerland  and  the  Palatinate,  for  the 
purpose  of  presenting  to  the  Reformed  people  of  those 
countries  the  sad  state  of  the  religious  destitution  existing 
among  their  brethren  in  this  country  and  to  solicit  aid  in 
their  behalf.  Having  arrived  in  Holland,  he  drew  up  and 
published  an  appeal,  in  which,  among  other  things,  he 
mentions  the  congregations  in  Pennsylvania  which  he  had 
visited  during  the  years  1747  and  1750.  Among  these  is 
mentioned  the  congregation  at  the  Forks  of  the  Delaware, 
by  which  name  Easton  was  known  at  that  time.  Now,  if 
Schlatter  visited  Easton  some  time  between  1747  and  1750, 
he  either  found  a  congregation  already  organized,  or  if 
not,  he  very  probably  organized  one  then,  for  to  do  such 
work  was  one  of  the  objects  held  in  view  by  him  in  all  his 
missionary  journeys. 

2.  Another  proof  that  this  congregation  was  organized 


40  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Fast  on,  Pa. 

at  some  time  between  1745  and  1750  is  furnished  by  this 
old  German  bible  here  lying  before  us.  On  the  fly  leaf 
of  this  venerable  book  is  inscribed  this  record  in  German 
and  Latin,  which  we  translate  into  English  as  follows  : 
*'  Biblia  Sacra,  or  the  Holy  Bible,  presented  by  Mr. 
ISIichael  Schlatter,  V.  D.  M.  [Minister  of  the  Word  of 
God],  and  Inspector  of  the  Liberties  at  Philadelphia,  to 
Reformed  Church  and  Congregation  at  I[E]aston,  with  the 
earnest  request  that  the  Elders  and  Deacons,  and  their 
successors,  be  properly  concerned,  that  this  Bible  continue 
to  be  used  bj'-  the  Church  at  its  public  divine  worship. 
Glory  to  God  alone  in  the  Highest.  Glory  alone  to  God." 
From  this  inscription  it  appears,  first,  that  Rev.  Michael 
Schlatter  presented  this  Bible  to  this  congregation  when 
he  was  pastor  of  the  church  in  Philadelphia ;  secondly, 
that  when  he  presented  it  there  was  existing  a  congrega- 
tion with  elders  and  deacons. 

Now  it  is  known,  from  the  life  of  Schlatter,  that  he  ceased 
to  be  pastor  of  the  congregation  in  Philadelphia  in  1755, 
consequently  he  must  have  presented  this  bible  in  that  year 
or  at  an  earlier  date,  probably  not  long  after  his  return 
from  Europe,  which  occurred  in  1752.  These  facts  prove, 
we  think,  that  this  congregation  was  organized  at  some 
date  between  1745  and  1750,  and  it  is  probable  that  its  or- 
ganization was  effected  by  Schlatter  himself  —  this  bible 
being  a  gift  in  remembrance  of  that  fact. 

To  pass  now  to  the  examination  of  what  may  be  con- 
sidered more  certain  data  and  facts  of  history  as  these  are 
presented  in  the  preserved  records  of  the  congregation,  we 
would  remark  that  the  earliest  of  these  records  are  not  only 
without  any  proper  authentication,  but  are  very  incomplete 
and  disconnected. 

The  record  bearing  the  oldest  date  is  that  of  a  baptism.

and  is  as  follows  :  "  Anno  1760,  September  28th,  was  born 
a  son,  and  was  baptised  November  5th.  He  received  the 
name  of  Ludwig.  His  sponsors  were  Philip  Gress  and

Knauss  and  Elizabeth  his  wife."  But  it  must  be  remarked 
in  regard  to  this  record,  that  it  stands  isolated  and  alone  in 
the  book,  and  that  it  is  evidently  in  the  handwriting  of  Rev. 
John  William  Ingold,  who  was  not  pastor  of  the  congrega- 
tion until  1775.  He  may,  perhaps,  have  learned  of  this 
baptism  and  recorded  it  some  years  after  it  took  place.  A 
similar  isolated  and  detached  record,  or  rather  memoran- 
dum, is  to  the  effect  that  the  Coetus,  or  Synod,  met  in 
Easton  in  1768.  The  imperfect  character  of  these  early 
records  is  evident  also  from  this  fact,  that  the  name  of  the 
first  regular  pastor  of  the  congregation  is  mentioned  only 
incidentally  in  them,  and  that  we  must  go  to  Dr.  Harbaugh's 
*'  Lives  of  the  Fathers  of  the  Reformed  Church  "  to  learn 
more  about  him  and  his  connection  with  the  concrregation. 

The  first  regular  pastor  was  Rev.  Dr.  Casper  Deitrich 
Weyberg,  and  who.  Dr.  Harbaugh  says,  took  charge  of 
the  congregation  at  Easton  in  the  early  part  of  the  year 
1763. 

The  church  records  make  only  incidental  allusion  to 
him  in  this  way :  There  are  nine  baptisms  recorded  as 
having  taken  place  in  1763.  The  person  who  makes  this 
record  —  evidently  not  Dr.  Weyberg  himself,  most  prob- 
ably Rev.  Frederick  L.  Henop,  as  the  handwriting  shows 
—  says  that  these  names  were  left  behind  by  Dr.  Weyberg 
on  slips  of  paper ;  but  whether  they  are  the  names  of  the 
parents,  the  sponsors,  or  the  children  who  were  baptized, 
the  writer  was  not  able  to  tell. 

At  this  time,  1763,  Easton,  in  connection  with  Green- 
wich, N.  J.,  Dryland  and  Plainfield,  constituted  a  pastoral 


42  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa, 

charge.  These  congregations  seem  to  have  been  served 
in  an  irregular  way  before  this  time  by  some  self-ap- 
pointed preachers.  But  in  1763,  as  said,  Rev.  Dr.  Wey- 
berg  became  the  tirst  regular  pastor  of  the  charge,  with 
the  approval  of  Synod.  The  congregation  in  Easton  had 
at  this  time  no  place  of  worship.  "  For  want  of  more 
suitable  accommodations,  it  is  said,  he  preached  in  the 
then  newly  erected  court  house,  and  in  the  country  around, 
in  barns,  or  wherever  room  could  be  found  to  shelter  the 
assembly."  He  was,  however,  pastor  of  the  congregation 
only  for  six  months,  when  he  was  called  to  Philadelphia. 
After  the  departure  of  Dr.  Weyberg  there  followed  a 
vacancy,  which  continued  until  the  beginning  of  1766, 
when  Rev.  Frederick  L.  Henop  became  pastor  of  the 
congregation.  We  cannot  pass  Dr.  Weyberg,  though  his 
ministrv  in  Easton  was  very  brief,  without  mentioning  an 
incident  which  occurred  during  his  ministr}'  in  Philadel- 
phia, and  which  illustrates  his  character  as  a  patriot  as  well 
as  a  minister  of  the  Gospel:  "He  took  a  warm  interest 
in  the  war  of  the  Revolution.  He  had  quite  a  fancy  for 
mingling,  in  some  way  or  other,  in  the  warlike  struggles 
of  the  times.  He  stood  out  prominently  as  a  patriot,  and  is 
said  to  have  acted  for  a  time  in  the  capacity  of  chaplain. 
At  the  time  when  the  British  held  possession  of  Philadel- 
phia he  preached  to  the  Hessians,  who  thronged  to  hear 
him  in  great  crowds.  He  boldly  asserted  the  justice  of  the 
American  cause,  and  bore  down  with  such  energy  upon 
the  wickedness  of  the  oppressors  that  the  British  began  to 
feel  the  effects  of  his  fearless  appeals  in  the  daily  desertions 
of  their  Hessian  mercenaries.  In  order  to  put  a  stop  to  his 
preaching  they  threatened  his  life,  and  threw  him  into 
prison,  from  which,  however,  he  was  soon  liberated.  It 
is   confidently   affirmed   that   the   Hessians   would,    in   all

probability,  to  a  man  have  left  the  British  service  if  the 
old  father  had  not  been  silenced." 

He  seems  to  have  commenced  the  records  of  baptisms 
performed  by  him  February  23,  1766,  and  continued  it  until 
October  8,  1769  —  a  period  of  about  three  years  and  eight 
months.  Then  he  resigned  and  removed  to  Frederick, 
Maryland.  The  record  of  his  baptisms  is  the  only  thing  that 
remains  to  tell  that  he  was  pastor  of  the  congregation,  and 
we  would  not  even  be  certain  of  that  fact  were  it  not  for 
the  very  brief  notice  of  him  in  Harbaugh's  "  Lives  of  the 
Fathers,  etc."  Rev.  Henop  was  succeeded,  in  1769,  by 
Rev.  Pithan,  of  whom  it  is  said  that  he  was  conditionally 
received  into  Coetus,  or  Synod,  and  located  on  trial  in 
Easton,  Dryland,  Plainfield  and  Greenwach.  At  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Synod,  in  1770,  complaints  were  made 
against  him  of  drunkenness ;  but  on  his  confessing  his 
faults  and  promising  to  do  better,  he  was  permitted  to 
preach  in  his  charge  a  while  longer.  He  did  not,  how- 
ever, hold  by  his  promise  long,  and  in  1771  he,  with  some 
difficulty,  was  compelled  to  resign  and  remove. 

Thus  again  in  1771  the  congregation  became  vacant  and 
remained  so  until  1776. 

It  was  during  this  vacancy  that  the  congregation,  in 
union  with  St.  John's  Lutheran  Congregation,  began  to 
take  measures  for  the  erection  of  a  church. 

From  Rev.  Henop's  hand  we  have  the  first  record  of  the 
existence  of  a  consistory  and  the  names  thereof.  It  bears 
the  date  of  1768,  and  states  that  the  elders  were  Ludwig 
Knauss  and  Philip  Odenwelder ;  deacons,  John  Gettert 
and  Henry  Schneider.  This  consistory  record  is  then  in- 
terrupted and  is  not  resumed  until  January  5,  1777,  and  is 
then  continued  annually  until  1795,  when  a  chasm  occurs 
which  extends  to  1808.     Among  the  names  of  members  of 


44  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

the  consistory  from  1777  to  1795  we  find  the  following: 
Elders  — Philip  Achenbach,  John  Simon,  John  Deichman, 
George  Ernst  Becker,  Jacob  Shumaker,  Michael  Gress, 
John  Nicholas  Troxel,  John  Best,  Peter  Lattig,  Jacob 
Scheib  and  Michael  Odenwelder  ;  Deacons  —  Nicholas 
Kemmerer,  Michael  Fraes,  John  Young, Leonhard  Walsch, 
Henry  Hahn,  Henry  Winter,  Christian  Butz,  Frederick 
Barthold,  Christopher  Meixel  and  Jacob  Keller. 

As  we  have  seen,  the  Reformed  congregation  began  to 
worship  in  the  then  newly  erected  court  house  in  1763. 
We  have  not  been  able  to  learn  from  any  records  or  history 
that  it  worshipped  in  any  other  place  until  this  building 
was  erected.  St.  John's  Lutheran  congregation  had 
worshipped  from  1763  in  the  second  story  of  a  stone  build- 
ing on  South  Third  street.  But  these  congregations  now 
felt  the  need  of  having  a  more  permanent  and  suitable 
place  of  worship,  and  they  joined  together  to  secure  this 
for  themselves. 

Honorable  John  Penn,  of  Stoke  Pogeis,  in  the  County 
of  Bucks,  in  the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain,  and  Honor- 
able Richard  Penn,  of  Queen  Ann  Street  West,  in  the 
Parish  of  St.  Mary  Le  Bone,  in  the  County  of  Middlesex, 
in  the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain,  who  were  descendants 
and  heirs  of  William  Penn,  and  proprietaries  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, donated  to  the  two  congregations  (for  the  nominal 
sum  of  ten  dollars,  lawful  money  of  the  United  States), 
three  parcels  of  ground,  one  of  which  was  that  on  which 
this  building  now  stands.  This  grant  was  confirmed  and 
conveyed  by  deed  November  27,  1800,  to  Peter  Snyder, 
Nicholas  Troxell  and  Nicholas  Kern,  Trustees  for  the 
German  Reformed  Congregation,  and  Jacob  Weygand,

nal    sum    of    ten    dollars,    lawful     money   of   the    United 
States. 

The  joint  congregations  having  thus  come  into  posses- 
sion of  an  eligible  location,  proceeded  to  build  the  church 
within  the  original  walls  of  which  w^e  are  now  assembled. 
The  cornerstone  was  laid  June  8,  1775,  and  the  church 
was  consecrated  to  the  service  of  the  Triune  God,  Novem- 
ber 17,  1776.  The  internal  arrangement  and  appearance 
was  originally  somewhat  different  from  what  they  are  at 
present.  Of  the  church  consecrated  in  1776  only  these 
four  walls  remain  —  the  vestibule  and  steeple  being  addi- 
tions, which  were  made  in  1832-3.  The  internal  arrange- 
ment was  somewhat  as  follows,  as  I  have  been  able  to 
gather  it  from  persons  still  living  who  frequently  w^or- 
shipped  in  it :  The  entrance  to  the  church  was  by  three 
doors,  one  of  which  was  on  Church  street,  behind  the 
present  pulpit,  and  the  two  others  on  Third  street.  The 
pews  were  arranged  lengthwise  on  the  Third  street  side, 
facing  east ;  on  the  north  side  facing  south,  and  on  the 
south  side  facing  north,  cut  by  aisles  running  north  and 
south,  east  and  west.  The  galleries  ran  along  the  north, 
south  and  west  sides  of  the  church,  to  which  access  was 
had  by  two  stairways,  the  one  ascending  from  the  south- 
west corner  and  the  other  from  the  northwest  corner  of  the 
building.  The  organ  was  on  the  west  side  gallery,  and 
was  built  in  1775  by  Dannaker.  The  pulpit  was  on  the 
east  side  of  the  building,  and  was  of  the  wine-glass  or 
goblet  style,  having  a  large  sounding  board  over  it. 
Beneath  the  pulpit  was  an  altar  (the  one  before  us  here 
to-day),  which  was  surrounded  by  a  railing.  The  ceiling 
was  dome  shape  in  form,  was  ornamented  with  figures  in 
oil,  and  still  exists  above  the  present  ceiling.  The  pews 
were   of  the   high-backed,  narrow-seated  style,  not  made

either  to  lounge  or  sleep  in,  but  to  keep  their  occupants 
upright  and  awake  as  worshippers  always  ought  to  be. 

Let  us  try  to  picture  to  ourselves  a  service  held  in  those 
early  days.  We  will  suppose  the  congregation  assembled. 
The  first  thing  that  strikes  our  view,  as  we  look  over  it,  is 
the  fact  that  the  sexes  are  separated  from  each  other,  the 
women  occupying  the  pews  on  the  main  floor  of  the  build- 
ing, surrounded  on  the  north  and  south  sides  by  a  small 
fringe  of  men,  for  protection  rather  than  ornament,  per- 
haps. On  each  side  of  the  pulpit  was  a  long  pew,  running 
parallel  with  the  wall,  in  one  of  which  sat  the  venerable 
elders,  and  in  the  other  the  deacons  of  the  congregation. 

Another  thing  that  strikes  our  view,  is  the  plain,  the  very 
plain  and  simple  dress  of  the  worshippers.  We  see  no 
silks,  and  broadcloths,  no  gay  ribbons  or  flowers,  for  those 
were  the  days  of  the  Revolution  and  of  continental  money. 
Instead,  the  men  for  the  most  part  are  clad  in  plain  home- 
spun and  linsey  wolsey,  some  even  being  in  their  shirt 
sleeves,  if  the  weather  is  warm  :  the  women  clothed  in  large 
part  with  the  same  plain  material — the  workmanship  of 
their  own  looms  and  hands  —  a  few,  it  may  be,  in  calico, 
or  other  equally  inexpensive  material.  Their  bonnets  were 
made  of  black  silk  or  gingham  and  pasteboard,  and  of  a 
shape  so  as  to  cover  the  face,  and  so  protect  it  not  only 
from  the  hot  sun  and  rude  wind,  but  also  from  the  ruder 
gaze  of  impertinent  curiosity  —  a  style  of  female  headgear 
very  unlike  that  prevalent  at  the  present  day,  which  seems 
to  be  made  to  adorn  the  back  of  the  head  and  expose,  not 
protect,  the  face  or  the  modesty  of  the  wearer. 

On  the  galleries  are  the  young  men  and  maidens,  who 
are  kept  in  becoming  order  by  the  vigilant  sexton,  who 
makes  his  presence  as  often  felt  and  heard,  by  sharp  raps, 
as  seen,  by  the  eye. 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  47 

While  the  organist  is  playing  a  solemn  voluntary,  the 
minister  enters.  He  proceeds  with  slow  step  to  the  chancel, 
when,  amid  deep  silence,  he  offers  a  silent  prayer,  which 
also  every  devout  worshipper  offers  when  they  entered 
their  pew.  A  solemn  awe  and  reverence  seems  to  pervade 
the  whole  audience,  as  if  the  divine  presence  was  felt  by 
all,  as  the  minister  gives  out  the  first  hymn,  which,  under 
the  leadership  of  the  organist  and  chorister,  is  sung,  not 
by  the  choir,  but  by  the  whole  congregation,  who  sing 
their  psalms,  and  hymns,  and  spiritual  songs  with  spirit 
and  with  understanding.  Then  follows  the  reading  of  the 
Holy  Scriptures,  which  is  listened  to  as  if  it  were,  as  it 
truly  is,  the  Word  of  God,  and  when,  at  the  close  of  this, 
the  minister  thanks  God  for  his  Holy  Word,  and  says, 
"  let  us  pray,"  the  whole  congregation  rises,  and,  with 
folded  hands  and  bowed  heads,  enters,  as  it  were,  with  the 
minister,  into  the  holy  place  where  God  hears  and  answers 
prayer.  After  prayer,  another  hymn  is  sung  with  equal 
spirit,  during  w^iich  the  minister  leaves  the  altar  and 
ascends  the  pulpit.  When  he  rises  to  preach  all  eyes  are 
fixed  eagerly  upon  him,  as  upon  one  whom  they  regard  as 
being  more  than  an  ordinary  man,  as  being  indeed  an  em- 
bassador of  Christ  and  steward  of  the  mystery,  who  in 
Christ's  stead  was  beseeching  them  to  become  reconciled 
to  God.  After  the  sermon  follows  a  short  prayer,  invok- 
ing the  blessing  of  God  upon  His  Word,  another  hymn, 
with  doxology  and  benediction,  then  a  few  moments  more 
of  silent  prayer,  and  while  the  organ  sounds  forth  a  volun- 
tary in  full  harmony  with  the  preceding  service,  the  con- 
gregation departs,  carrying  with  it  the  solemn,  strengthen- 
ing feeling  that  it  has  been  in  the  house  of  God,  at  the 
gates  of  heaven. 

But  to    return  to    our    history.      Diligent    research    has 


4S  The  First  Rcforvied  Church  oj" Fusion,  Pa. 

failed  to  give  us  the  names  of  the  architect  of  the  building, 
the  building  committee  of  the  Reformed  Congregation,  or 
the  cost  of  the  buildincj.  From  still  livin";  witnesses  we 
have  learned  that  the  mason  work  was  done  b}'  Mr.  Philip 
Meixell,  grandfather  of  the  late  Charles  Meixell,  Esq. 
It  is  said  that  he  received  his  pay  for  his  work  in  conti- 
nental money, ^  which  when  he  came  to  use  it  several  years 
after,  had  depreciated  so  much  in  value  that  for  the  whole 
of  it  he  was  only  able  to  buy  a  bag  of  wheat  or  ten  bushels 
of  potatoes. 

From  the  original  size,  materials  and  general  internal 
arrangements  and  appointments  of  the  building,  we  are  war- 
ranted to  infer  that  it  must  have  cost  what  was  then  a  large 
amount  of  money ;  and  when  we  consider  the  then  social 
state  of  the  community,  the  limited  pecuniary  means  of 
the  wealthiest,  the  uncertain  political  state  of  the  country, 
the  building  was  not  only  a  worthy  monument  of  the  piety 
and  liberality  of  the  fathers  who  built  it,  but  also  a  speak- 
ing witness  of  their  courage  and  faith. 

'  "  During  the  summer  of  17S0  this  wretched  '  Continental '  currency 
fell  into  contempt.  As  Washington  said — '  It  took  a  wagon-load  of 
money  to  buy  a  wagon-load  of  provisions.'  At  the  end  of  the  year  177S, 
the  paper  dollar  was  worth  sixteen  cents  in  the  northern  states,  and 
twelve  cents  in  the  south.  Early  in  17S0  its  value  had  fallen  to  two 
cents,  and  before  the  end  of  the  year  it  took  ten  paper  dollars  to  make  a 
cent.  In  October  Indian  corn  sold  wholesale  in  Boston  for  $150  a 
bushel,  butter  was  $12  a  pound,  tea  $90,  sugar  $10,  beef  $S,  coftee  $12,  and 
a  barrel  of  flour  cost  $i,575-  Samuel  Adams  paid  $2,000  for  a  hat,  and  a 
suit  of  clothes.  The  money  soon  ceased  to  circulate,  debts  could  not  be 
collected  and  there  was  a  general  prostration  of  credit.  To  sa^'  that  a 
thing  was  '  not  worth  a  Continental'  became  the  strongest  possible  ex- 
pression of  contempt.'  We  need  not  wonder  that  the  good  and  worthy 
man,  who  laid  the  foundations  of  our  chuch  building,  received  only  ten 
bushels  of  potatoes  or  wheat  as  others  say,  for  his  work.  But  we  are  sure 
that  what  he  lacked  in  Continental  money  was  somehow  made  up  to  him 
in  a  better  currency'."

The  Organization  of  the  Congregation,  49 

The  vacancy  that  occurred  in  the  pastorate  of  the  con- 
gregation by  the  removal  of  Rev.  Pithan,  in  1771,  was  not 
supplied  until  1776.  Some  time  during  the  first  half  of  this 
year  (probably  June  or  July),  Rev.  William  Ingold  became 
pastor,  and  though  the  records  are  silent  on  the  point,  yet 
being  pastor  at  the  time,  it  is  reasonable  to  conclude  that 
he  took  part  in  the  consecration  of  the  church,  November 
17,  1776,  in  connection  with  Rev.  Christian  Striet,  who 
was  then  pastor  of  St.  John's  Lutheran  congregation.  Rev. 
Schwarbach,  of  the  Lutheran  Church,  also  assisting.  His 
first  baptismal  record  bears  the  date  of  August  25,  1776, 
and  he  continues  this  record  uninterruptedly  and  carefully 
to  February  14,  1786.  From  these  records  of  baptism  it 
is  reasonable  to  infer  that  he  was  pastor  of  the  congre- 
gation for  a  continued  period  of  about  ten  years.  Dr. 
Harbaugh,  however,  in  his  "  Lives  of  the  Fathers  of  the 
Reformed  Church,"  Vol.  IL,  p.  399,  presents  a  somewhat 
different  account  of  his  connection  with  this  congregation. 
He  says  that  "  Rev.  Ingold  came  to  Easton  in  1776,  but 
failing  to  give  satisfaction  and  win  the  confidence  of  the 
congregation  ;  and,  moreover,  the  congregation  being  small 
and  notable  to  support  him,  he  remained  but  a  short  time. 
Afterwards  [he  does  not  say  how  long  afterwards]  he 
returned  to  Easton,  where  he  labored  for  nearly  ten 
years  (with  poor  success)."  If  this  statement  is  correct 
(and  there  is  the  record  of  a  baptism  bearing  the  date  of 
April  30,  1775,  evidently  in  Ingold's  handwriting),  then 
he  must^have  been  here  the  first  time  in  1775,  but  only 
for  a  short  time,  and  afterwards  returned  in  1776  and 
remained  here  until  1786.  He  makes  one  record  of 
special  interest,  which  we  here  translate  from  the  German, 
viz.,  "Easton,  November  23,  1776,  the  following  young 
persons  were   confirmed,  in  the  presence  of  the  congre-

years ;  Anna  Maria  Lerch,  of  Saucon,  15  years,  and

gether 26."  Some  of  these  names  are  still  borne  by  pres- 
ent members  of  this  congregation. 

The  congregation  was  not  permitted  to  worship  contin- 
uously and  uninterruptedly  on  alternate  Sundays  in  this 
building  after  it  was  consecrated  and  during  the  pastorate 
of  Rev.  Ingold.  On  the  20th  of  January,  1777,  Hons. 
George  Taylor  and  George  Walton,  Commissioners  ap- 
pointed by  Congress  to  be  present  and  preside  at  the  In- 
dian treaty  to  be  holden  in  Easton,  met  the  Indians  in  this 
church,  and,  according  to  the  report  which  they  made  to 
Congress,  "  after  the  shaking  of  hands  and  drinking  of 
rum,  during  which  time  the  organ  was  played,  they  pro- 
ceeded to  business." 

Again,  during  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  from  1776  to 
1780,  the  church,  which  was  then  one  of  the  two  largest 
buildings  in  Easton — the  court  house  being  the  other  — 
was  frequently  used  as  a  hospital  and  was  often  crowded 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  51 

with  sick  and  wounded  soldiers,  during  which  time  the 
congregation  was  compelled  to  worship  elsewhere,  if  at 
all.  The  congregation  in  connection  with  St.  John's 
Lutheran  congregation,  in  these  early  days  also  labored 
under  another  oppressive  burden  in  the  shape  of  a  church 
debt  of  four  hundred  pounds  —  an  ecclesiastical  evil  which 
still  afflicts  churches.  In  1794  the  Trustees  of  the  two 
congregations  petitioned  the  Legislature  to  permit  Mr. 
Hellick  to  collect  the  amount  of  the  debt  throughout  the 
State  by  subscription,  which  was  granted,  and  we  hope  he 
succeeded  in  soon  collecting  the  money. 

Rev.  Ingold  was  succeeded,  after  an  interval  of  but  a 
few  months,  by  Rev.  Lebrecht  Frederick  Hermann,  D.D., 
who  became  pastor  of  the  congregation,  in  connection  with 
the  congregations  at  Plainfield,  Dryland  and  Greenwich, 
in  the  fall  of  1786.  Dr.  Hermann  was  a  man  of  ability 
and  culture,  having  studied  six  years  in  the  celebrated 
school  connected  with  the  Orphans'  Home  at  Halle,  in  Ger- 
many, and  then  took  a  course  of  three  years  in  theology 
in  the  university  of  that  city.  The  labors  of  the  charge 
were  too  severe  for  his  strength,  and,  after  serving  the 
congregations  only  about  four  years,  he  resigned  October, 
1790,  giving  as  a  reason  for  doing  so  that  he  feared  the 
consequences  upon  his  health  of  the  excessive  labors  which 
the  charge  devolved  upon  him. 

It  was  during  the  ministry  of  Dr.  Hermann  that  the  first 
recorded  donation  for  charitable  purposes  was  given  to  the 
congregation.  It  is  thus  recorded  in  the  church  book  : 
"  Anno,  1788,  April  6th,  Mrs.  Catherine  Opp,  wife  of 
Michael  Opp,  presented  the  Reformed  Congregation  with 
a  gift  of  Five  Pounds.  This  sum  of  Five  Pounds  shall  be 
constantly  invested,  and  the  interest  derived  therefrom 
shall  be  used  for  the  German  education  of  a  poor  child  of 


52  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

the  congregation."  Thus  earW  was  some  regard  had  for 
the  poor  and  destitute  children  (it  may  be  orphans)  of  the 
congregation. 

The  removal  of  Dr.  Hermann,  was  followed  again  by  a 
vacancy,  which  continued  until  August,  1793,  when  Rev. 
Dr.  Christian  Ludwig  Becker,  father  of  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Jacob  Christian  Becker,  and  grandfather  of  Mr.  Thomas 
H.  Becker,  at  present  an  elder  of  this  congregation,  be- 
came pastor.  Dr.  Becker  was  a  man  of  more  than  ordi- 
nary ability  and  of  thorough  education,  having  spent,  with 
great  diligence  and  application,  more  than  twenty  years 
in  college  and  university  before  he  entered  upon  the  duties 
of  the  ministry.  Moreover,  he  was  a  man  of  extraordi- 
nary eloquence,  "  and  in  preaching  was  frequently  caught 
up  into  a  most  overwhelming  overflow  of  impassioned  elo- 
quence and  tender  feeling.  He  would  at  times  sway  a 
congregation  as  a  wind  moves  a  forest  of  pines,  so  that 
the  stoutest  would  bend  to  the  power  that  breathed  upon 
them."  The  congregation  by  whom  he  was  much  be- 
loved, was  permitted  to  enjoy  the  ministry  of  this  gifted, 
eloquent  and  pious  father  only  for  a  short  time.  After  he 
had  preached  here  eighteen  months,  "  he  received  a  call 
from  Lancaster,  Pa.,  which,  after  much  reflection  and  con- 
siderable reluctance,  he  at  length  accepted,  and  removed 
from  Easton,  March,  1795." 

Dr.  Becker  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  Thomas  Pomp,  the 
only  son  of  Rev.  Nicholas  Pomp,  who  was  one  of  the  four 
missionaries  sent  to  this  country  in  1760  by  the  Reformed 
Church  of  Holland.  Father  Pomp  took  charge  of  the 
congregation  in  July,  1796,  and  continued  to  be  its  pastor 
for  more  than  half  a  century.  As  there  are  not  a  few 
members  of  the  congregation  still  living  who  enjoyed  the 
advantage  of  sitting  under  his  ministry,  I  need  only  say 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  53 

that  he  labored  with  untiring  zeal,  universal  acceptance, 
and  great  success  in  the  congregation,  and  in  the  other 
three  associated  with  it,  being  so  devoted  to  his  holy  work 
that  he  only  ceased  from  it  when  compelled  to  do  so  by  the 
infirmities  of  old  age. 

It  was  during  the  pastorate  of  Father  Pomp  that  two 
great  events  occurred  in  the  history  of  the  congregation. 
The  first  was  the  remodeling  and  reconstruction  of  the 
church.  Up  to  1830  the  church  had  been  owned  and  oc- 
cupied jointly  by  the  Reformed  and  St.  John's  Lutheran 
congregations.  In  1831  the  Lutheran  congregation  sep- 
arated from  the  Reformed,  built  a  church  for  themselves 
and  sold  their  interest  in  this  church  to  this  congregation 
for  $1,600. 

As  soon  as  the  congregation  came  into  sole  possession 
of  the  church  it  began  to  move  in  the  direction  of  its  re- 
construction. At  a  meeting  of  the  consistory,  held  May 
23,  183 1,  committees  were  appointed  to  collect  money  to 
purchase  the  Lutheran  interest  in  the  church  and  to  recon- 
struct it.  At  a  congregational  meeting  held  January  2, 
1832,  Peter  Shnyder,  Philip  Odenwelder  and  Daniel  W. 
Butz  were  appointed  a  committee  to  whom  was  intrusted 
the  whole  matter  of  reconstructing  the  church,  and  at  a 
meeting  held  on  the  21st  of  the  same  month  (January)  it 
was  resolved  to  build  the  steeple  on  the  north  side 
of  the  church,  the  whole  building  being  rough-casted, 
and  the  building  committee  were  instructed  to  proceed 
at  once  to  make  contracts  for  lumber,  etc.  The  con- 
tract for  the  work  was  given  to  Mr.  Clark  Lowry,  and 
the  building  was  reconstructed  into  its  present  form  and  all 
ready  except  the  steeple,  for  consecration  in  November, 
1832.  Accordingly,  on  Sunday,  the  25th  of  November, 
1832,  it  was  reconsecrated  with  appropriate  service.     The 


54         The  First  Reformed  Church  af  Easton^  Pa. 

Rev.  Dr.  Theodore  L.  Hoffeditz  preached  the  dedicatory 
sermon,  in  German,  in  the  morning ;  the  Rev.  Samuel 
Hess  preached,  in  German,  in  the  afternoon,  and  Rev. 
Dr.  Bernhard  C.  Wolff,  in  English,  in  the  evening.  The 
services  were  continued  during  the  following  Monday, 
when  Rev.  Dr.  Benjamin  S.  Schneck  preached,  in  Ger- 
man, in  the  morning  ;  Rev.  B.  C.  Wolff,  in  English  again, 
in  the  afternoon,  and  Rev.  Dr.  John  Gray,  of  Easton,  also 
in  English,  in  the  evening.  The  steeple  was  not  finished 
until  1833.  The  whole  cost  of  the  reconstruction  was 
about  $25,000. 

The  other  important  event  mentioned  as  having  taken 
place  during  Father  Pomp's  ministry  was  the  introduction 
of  the  English  language  into  the  services  of  the  congrega- 
tion. The  German  was  the  language  in  which  the  wor- 
ship of  the  congregation  was  conducted  from  the  begin- 
ning of  its  history,  and  continued  to  be  so  used  until  183 1. 
Then  there  seems  to  have  existed  in  the  congregation  a 
want  and  demand  for  some  services  in  English,  which 
Father  Pomp  and  the  consistory  sought  to  provide  for  by 
the  adoption  of  the  following  resolution:  "  Inasmuch  as 
the  English  language  is  becoming  more  and  more  preva- 
lent in  our  country,  so  that  it  may  be  necessary  to  have 
English  divine  services,  therefore,  it  is  permitted  to  have 
English  services  on  the  alternate  Sundays,  or  on  the  after- 
noon on  which  German  services  are  held.  Provided  that, 
as  the  charter  requires,  the  preacher  who  conducts  in  Eng- 
lish services  be  a  member  of  a  German  Reformed  Synod  of 
the  United  States,  or  at  least  must  have  his  call  to  this  con- 
gregation confirmed  by  this  Synod."  This  action,  while 
it  indicated  progress,  was,  all  things  considered,  nothing 
less  than  revolutionary  in  its  character,  and  especially 
the  fact  that  Father  Pomp  not  only  did  not  resist  the  intro- 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  55 

duction  of  English  into  the  service  of  the  congregation,  as 
many  other  pastors  then  did  and  still  do,  but  was  actually 
the  chairman  of  the  committee  which  offered  the  resolution 
making  the  change  and  cordially  approved  of  its  adoption. 
This  conduct  on  his  part  speaks  volumes  for  the  liberal 
and  self-sacrificing  spirit  which  so  signally  characterized 
his  whole  relation  to  the  congregation  from  the  beginning 
to  the  end. 

The  way  being  thus  opened  for  the  introduction  of  Eng- 
lish services,  the  congregation  proceeded  to  supply  its 
want  in  this  regard,  but  did  not  succeed  in  doing  so  un- 
til December  12,  1832,  when  Rev.  Dr.  Bernard  C.  Wolff 
was  elected  "  as  assistant  minister,  to  preach  in  the  Eng- 
lish language."  The  call,  which  in  pursuance  of  this 
election  was  extended  to  Dr.  Wolff,  was  accepted  by  him, 
and  on  Sunday,  April  7,  1833,  he  preached  his  introduc- 
tory sermon. 

There  never  were,  perhaps,  two  truer  "yoke-fellows," 
as  St.  Paul  phrases  it,  associated  together  in  ministerial 
labor  in  the  same  congregation  than  Father  Pomp  and  Dr. 
Wolff.  Being  in  a  large  degree  of  similar  disposition  and 
temperament,  amiable,  kindly  and  easy  to  be  entreated ; 
and  being  actuated  by  the  same  lofty  spirit  of  devotion  to 
their  holy  work  and  self-sacrifice  in  its  prosecution,  they 
labored  together  in  peace  and  harmony,  to  the  great  satis- 
faction and  prosperity  of  the  congregation,  for  a  period  of 
about  twelve  years. 

In  December,  1844,  Dr.  Wolff  received  a  call  from  the 
Third  Reformed  Church  in  Baltimore,  Md.,  which  he  felt 
constrained  to  accept.  Accordingly  he  resigned  his  co- 
pastorate  of  this  congregation  and  removed  from  it  in 
February,  1845.  The  vacancy  this  made  in  the  English 
co-pastorate  (Father  Pomp  still  continuing  as   senior  Ger- 


56  The  First  Reforjiicd  Church  of  Easton^  Pa. 

man  pastor)  was  supplied  in  April,  1845,  by  Rev.  Dr.  J. 
H.  A.  Bomberger  accepting  a  call  thereto.  The  work  of 
building  up  the  congregation  in  temporal  and  spiritual 
things  continued  to  be  carried  forward  with  marked  suc- 
cess by  the  two  pastors  now  in  charge.  Being  still  of  one 
heart,  and  one  mind,  and  one  purpose,  they  continued  to 
cooperate,  each  in  his  sphere,  not  onl}^  without  any  fric- 
tion or  embarrassment,  but  with  the  most  amicable  spirit 
and  in  complete  harmony. 

It  was  about  this  time  that  one  of  the  most  pleasing 
episodes  in  Father  Pomp's  ministry  in  this  congregation 
occurred.  He  now  had  been  pastor  of  the  congregation 
for  fifty  years.  It  was  happily  conceived  that  this  fact 
was  worthy  of  being  commemorated  in  some  special  man- 
ner. The  suggestion  commended  itself  to  the  consistory, 
who,  at  a  meeting  held  June  13,  1846,  resolved  that  the 
semi-centennial  anniversary  of  Father  Pomp's  pastorate  be 
properly  celebrated,  and  proceeded  to  make  the  necessary 
arrangements  to  do  so.  This  celebration  took  place  on 
Sunday,  July  19,  1846,  in  this  church,  in  the  presence  of 
a  congregation  which  thronged  the  building.  The  ser- 
vices consisted  of  a  brief  statistical  report  of  his  labors  for 
fifty  years  by  Father  Pomp,  and  a  commemorative  sermon 
by  Rev.  Henry  Bibighaus,  of  Philadelphia,  in  German,  in 
the  morning ;  in  the  afternoon  Rev.  Dr.  T.  L.  Hoffeditz 
and  Rev.  Dr.  J.  C.  Becker  deliver  addresses,  also  in  Ger- 
man, the  latter  presenting,  in  the  name  of  the  congregation, 
a  beautifully  bound  copy  of  the  Bible  to  Father  Pomp, 
who  was  so  overcome  by  his  feelings  that  he  could  only 
respond  in  the  melting  language  of  tears ;  in  the  evening 
Rev.  Dr.  B.  C.  Wolff,  former  associate  pastor,  preached 
an  appropriate  sermon,  of  an  historical  character,  in  Eng- 
lish.    The  whole  occasion  was  one  which  was  as  gratify- 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  57 

ing  to  him  whom  it  was  designed  to  honor  as  it  was  credit- 
able to  the  congregation. 

But  now  also  shadows  began  to  gather  over  the  pathway 
of  Father  Pomp.  Not  only  had  old  age,  with  its  infirmi- 
ties, almost  imperceptibly  crept  upon  him,  but  his  naturally 
strong  constitution  and  robust  health  commenced  to  suffer 
from  his  onerous  labors  in  this  and  the  associated  congre- 
gations of  Dryland  and  Plainfield.  He  now  stood  in  his 
place  as  a  tried  veteran,  whose  spirit  was  still  strong  and 
willing,  but  whose  flesh  was  weak,  and  growing  weaker; 
and  being  no  longer  able  physically  to  discharge  the  duties 
of  his  holy  office  to  his  own  satisfaction,  he  retired  from 
active  service  April  19,  1850,  still  retaining,  however,  his 
official  relation  as  pastor,  with  salary.  Four  years  later, 
in  the  early  morning  of  April  22,  1852,  death  gently  re- 
leased him  from  all  his  earthly  labors  and  trials,  "in  the 
eightieth  year  of  his  age,  the  sixtieth  of  his  ministry,  and 
the  fifty-seventh  of  his  pastorate  in  Easton." 

During  the  latter  part  of  Father  Pomp's  ministry,  in 
1846,  the  congregation  fell  heir  to  a  legacy  of  $1,000, 
which  had  been  bequeathed  to  it  by  Jacob  Arndt,  Esq.,  in 
1833  ;  the  legacy  not  being  available  until  after  the  death 
of  his  wife  and  brother  Abraham. 

When  Father  Pomp  withdrew  from  active  service  a 
vacancy  was  made  in  the  German  pastorate.  At  the 
urgent  request  of  the  consistory,  Dr.  Bomberger,  much 
against  his  will,  consented  to  become  a  candidate  therefor, 
and  was  unanimously  elected.  The  services  in  the  two 
languages  were  thus  united  in  one  person,  and  Dr.  Bom- 
berger became  the  'sole  pastor  of  the  congregation,  and 
continued  to  be  such,  officiating  in  both  German  and  Eng- 
lish languages,  with  great  acceptance  to  the  congregation 
and  with  encouraging  success,  until  August,  1854,  when. 


58         The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

having  accepted  a  call  to  the  First  Reformed  Church  of 
Philadelphia,  he  resigned  and  removed  to  that  city. 

A  few  facts  which  occurred  during  the  time  of  Dr. 
Bomberger's  pastorate  are  worthy  of  being  noted  here. 
In  May,  1850,  the  congregation  received  a  legacy  of  $500 
from  the  estate  of  Mr.  David  Meixel,  which  was  be- 
queathed by  him  on  the  condition  that  only  the  interest 
thereof  be  used  "  to  repair  and  ornament  the  graveyard  of 
the  congregation." 

In  July  of  the  same  year  The  Female  Benevolent  So- 
ciety of  the  congregation  received  a  legacy  of  $5,000  from 
the  estate  of  Peter  Miller,  Esq.,  the  interest  of  which  was 
to  be  used  by  them  for  the  benefit  of  the  poor  of  the  con- 
gregation and  of  the  Sunday-school.  During  the  fall  and 
winter  of  the  same  year  the  Session  Room  was  built,  and 
during  the  summer  of  1852  the  church  was  frescoed  and 
gas  was  introduced  into  it. 

During  the  fall  and  winter  of  1852-3  the  present  par- 
sonage was  built,  and  thus  a  new  home  was  provided  for 
the  pastors  of  the  congregation,  the  old  parsonage  having 
been  sold  September  25,  1852. 

Dr.  Bomberger  was  succeeded  in  the  pastorate  of  the 
congregation  in  September,  1854,  by  him  who  is  still 
pastor  of  it,  and  the  historian  of  the  present  occasion  (Rev. 
John  Beck).  Leaving  the  estimate  of  his  character  and 
official  work  to  others  we  will  simply  mention  a  few  mat- 
ters which  have  occurred  within  the  time  of  his  ministry, 
and  which  we  deem  deserving  of  record  in  this  sketch. 

In  the  summer  of  1865  the  church  was  repainted,  cal 
cimined  and  somewhat  repaired,  and  put  into  the  condition 
and  order  in  which  it  still  is. 

On  July  19,  1869,  the  congregation  received  a  legacy 
of  ten  shares  of  Phillipsburg  Bank  Stock   from  Anthony 


The  Organization  of  the  Congregation.  59 

Loudenburg,  of  PhilHpsburg,  N.  J.,  to  be  used  for  the 
education  of  poor  young  men  for  the  ministry  of  the  Re- 
formed Church. 

By  the  death  of  the  older  members  of  the  congregation, 
and  by  the  prevalence  of  the  English  language  in  the 
community,  the  need  for  the  use  of  the  German  in  the 
public  worship  of  the  congregation  grew  less  and  less. 
At  length,  after  much  deliberation,  many  changes,  and 
great  tribulation,  the  German  was  entirely  discontinued  in 
the  fall  of  187 1,  and  since  then  the  public  services  of  wor- 
ship have  been  conducted  exclusively  in  the  English  lan- 
guage. 

This  one  statement  more  needs  to  be  made  to  complete 
this  hasty  sketch.  This  church  and  congregation  stood 
alone  in  this  town  and  vicinity  in  1776.  Now  one  hundred 
years  after,  in  1876,  at  least  six  additional  flourishing  con- 
gregations are  existing  on  the  same  territory,  and  this 
congregation  is  the  mother  of  them  all. 

And  now,  as  we  bring  this  historical  sketch  to  a  close, 
many  earnest  thoughts  and  practical  reflections  press  for 
utterance ;  but  we  will  refrain  from  giving  them  record  or 
expression  at  this  time  and  on  this  occasion  ;  neither  would 
we  tax  yoiir  patience  any  longer.  We  crave  your  atten- 
tion for  but  one  thought  more.  These  old  walls,  plain 
though  they  be,  have  been  hallowed  not  only  by  special 
acts  of  consecration,  but  by  the  praise,  and  prayer,  and 
worship  of  a  century,  and,  to  the  eye  of  a  reverent  faith, 
are  studded  as  thickly  with  the  shining  tokens  and  memo- 
rials of  the  divine  presence  and  favor,  vouchsafed  to  the 
fathers  and  children  of  more  than  three  generations,  as  a 
dark  night  is  studded  with  stars.  How  many  faithful 
souls  have  been  made  meet  within  them  by  the  word  and 
the   sacraments   for  an   inheritance   amongr    the    saints  in 


6o         The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Eastoiiy  Pa. 

light,  eternity  alone  will  disclose,  and  it  is  inspiring  to 
believe  that  they,  as  a  cloud  of  witnesses,  are  looking 
down  upon  us  from  the  heavenly  world  as  we  are  to-day 
engaged  in  these  memorial  services. 

But  it  is  not  only  these  walls,  with  their  hallowed  associ- 
ations, that  we  have  inherited  from  the  fathers  and  founders 
of  this  church.  They  have  also  transmitted  to  us  and  our 
keeping  the  more  precious  legacy  of  their  faith  and  order, 
for  the  maintenance  and  defence  of  which  they  deemed 
no  sacrifice  too  costly.  If  on  to-day,  throughout  this 
broad,  fair  land,  the  recital  of  the  heroic  deeds  of  the 
fathers  and  founders  of  our  civil  order,  and  of  the  num- 
berless temporal  and  political  blessings  bestowed  upon  us 
as  a  nation,  will  stir  up  in  every  patriotic  heart  feelings  of 
profound  gratitude,  and  kindle  anew  a  flame  of  a  holy 
devotion  to  the  principles  of  liberty,  justice  and  equality, 
then  surely,  inasmuch  as  spiritual  blessings  and  privileges 
far  transcend  in  value  those  which  are  temporal  and  civil, 
the  recital  thus  imperfectly  rendered  of  what  the  fathers 
and  founders  of  this  church  and  congregation  did  and 
suffered,  the  priceless  spiritual  blessings  bestowed  upon 
them  and  us,  should  not  only  awaken  in  our  hearts  feelings 
of  gratitude  to  God,  which  should  constrain  us  to  call  upon 
our  souls  and  all  the  powers  within  us  to  praise  and  bless 
the  Lord,  but  also  impel  us  here  to-day  to  register  the  old 
vow  of  a  whole-soul  devotion  and  love,  with  a  new  mean- 
ing :  "If  I  forget  thee,  O  Jerusalem,  let  my  right  hand 
forget  her  cunning.  If  I  do  not  remember  thee,  let  my 
tongue  cleave  to  the  roof  of  my  mouth  ;  if  I  prefer  not 
Jerusalem  above  my  chief  joy."

death  occurred  suddenly,  during  the  interval 
between  his  resignation  as  pastor  and  the  date  on  which  it 
was  to  take  effect,  and  came  as  a  shock  to  the  congrega- 
tion and  community.  His  ministry  for  so  many  years  had 
been  characterized  by  scholarly  ability,  a  patient  and  effi- 
cient fidelity  to  the  welfare  of  the  congregation.  Of  his 
ability  as  a  scholar  and  writer  the  foregoing  most  valuable 
historical  sketch  is  evidence  which  will  long  remain,  and 
for  which  the  future  will  be  grateful. 

Rev.  Thomas  C.  Porter,  D.D.,  was  the  next  pastor, 
installed  August  29,  1877.  For  a  very  considerable  time 
he  had  held  a  prominent  place  in  the  Faculty  of  Lafayette 
College,  and,  though  retaining  his  relations  to  the  college, 
filled  in  a  faithful,  devoted  manner  a  pastorate  of  seven 
years,  during  which  time  there  were  many  accessions  to 
the  church,  and  an  elegant  organ,  the  largest  in  Easton, 
was  purchased.  In  the  early  part  of  Dr.  Porter's  term 
the  old  volunteer  choir  was  dispensed  with  and  the  modern 
innovation  of  salaried  choristers  introduced.  Another 
feature  was  the  inaugurating  of  early  services  at  Christmas 
and  Easter,  which  have  constantly  grown  in  favor,  not 
only  with  the  congregation,  but  the  general  public.  An- 
other change  was  that  the  high  pulpit,  built  in  1832,  was 
lowered,  after  being  in  use  half  a  century.  In  1884, 
Dr.  Porter  finding  that  advancing  years  prevented  the 
double  duties  he  had  been  performing  since  his  installa-

tion,  tendered  his  resignation,  which  was  accepted  with 
considerable  regret  by  the  consistory  and  congregation. 
In  his  closing  sermon,  Dr.  Porter,  after  referring  to  the 
ver}^  pleasant  and  cordial  relations  which  had  existed  be- 
tween him  and  his  flock,  incidentally  mentioned  that  it 
was  twenty-three  years  previous  that  he  first  preached  in 
the  church.  This  was  during  the  session  of  the  Synod  of 
the  German  Reformed  Church,  in  1861,  when  President 
Lincoln  appointed  September  26  as  a  day  of  fasting  and 
prayer,  and  Dr.  Porter  was  invited  to  preach  the  sermon 
before  the  Synod  and  the  congregation.  During  the  years 
1867-69,  when  there  were  alternate  services  in  German 
and  English,  Dr.  Porter  preached  in  English  in  the  Ses- 
sion Room  on  those  Sundays  when  Dr.  Beck  held  services 
in  German  in  the  church  proper. 

The  pastorate  of  the  church  having  become  vacant  by 
the  resignation  of  Rev.  Dr.  Porter,  the  Rev.  H.  M.  Kief- 
fer,  pastor  for  eleven  years  of  the  church  of  the  Ascen- 
sion, Norristown,  Pa.,  was  called  at  a  meeting  of  the 
congregation  held  on  the  evening  of  August  11,  1884. 
The  newly  elected  pastor  was  duly  installed  on  Thursday 
evening,  October  30th,  by  a  committee  of  East  Pennsyl- 
vania Classis  appointed  for  the  purpose,  consisting  of  the 
Rev.  Dr.  T.  C.  Porter,  Rev.  T.  O.  Stem  and  Rev.  Dr. 
D.  Y.  Heisler,  the  latter  preaching  the  installation  sermon. 
The  new  pastor  preached  his  introductory  sermon  the  fol- 
lowing Sunday  morning,  November  2,  taking  as  his  text, 
Philippians  1:2,  "  Grace  be  unto  you,  and  peace,  from 
God  our  Father  and  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ." 

In  the  early  part  of  1885,  preparations  were  made  for 
repairing  the  church  building  which  had  stood  without  any 
material  change  or  improvement  (with  the  exception  of  the 
lowering  of  the  old  pulpit  and  the  purchase  of  a  new  pipe 


Recent  History.  63 

organ)  since  the  year  1832.  The  old  Third  Street 
Church,  so  widely  known  in  the  community  and  through- 
out the  Reformed  denomination  for  its  open-handed  liber- 
ality, had  generously  assisted  in  the  erection  and  improve- 
ment of  many  churches  and  in  the  relief  and  support  of 
many  poor  and  struggling  congregations,  meanwhile  al- 
lowing its  own  house  of  worship  to  suffer  from  neglect 
and  to  present,  with  the  passing  years,  a  somewhat  shabby 
appearance.  Loth  to  affect  any  very  material  changes, 
least  of  all  to  alter  the  ancient  and  venerable  appearance  of 
the  building,  the  congregation  still  felt  that  some  steps  must 
be  taken  toward  repairing  and  improving  the  propert}^ 

Accordingly  a  committee  was  appointed  by  the  consis- 
tory some  time  in  March,  1885,  composed  of  the  following 
persons :  Elders  Jacob  Rader,  William  Keller,  Henry 
Young  ;  Messrs.  William  H.  Thompson,  Thomas  Rinek, 
Horace  S.  Bachman  (the  name  of  the  pastor,  Rev.  H.  M. 
Kieffer,  was  subsequently  added),  to  devise  a  plan  of  re- 
pairs and  ways  and  means  of  securing  the  needed  funds. 
This  committee  having  secured  the  services  of  an  architect, 
John  M.  Stewart,  of  Easton,  spent  many  days  in  the  old 
church,  examining  walls,  floors  and  timbers,  and  consid- 
ering and  discussing  how  best  the  changes  might  be  made. 
A  plan  having  at  length  been  adopted,  it  was  concluded 
to  make  no  canvass  of  the  congregation  for  the  purpose  of 
soliciting  subscriptions  in  the  usual  way,  but  to  prepare  a 
printed  circular,  which  should  set  forth  the  need  of  the 
repairs  and  appeal  to  the  liberality  of  the  people.  The 
Sunday  morning  previous  to  the  sending  out  of  these  cir- 
culars, viz.,  on  June  21,  1885,  the  people  were  publicly 
advised  from  the  pulpit  of  the  intention  of  the  committee, 
the  pastor  preaching  a  sermon  upon  the  subject  of  "The 
Building  of  the  Tabernacle."     (Exodus  xxxv,  20-22.) 


64  The  First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton,  Pa. 

In  the  course  of  a  month,  or  thereabout,  the  sum  of  six 
thousand  dollars  was  secured,  the  people  manifesting  a 
great  readiness  and  cheerfulness  in  the  work.  This 
amount  was  at  tirst  thought  sufficient  for  the  changes  and 
improvements  contemplated,  but  it  was  soon  found,  as  is 
usual  in  such  cases,  that  more  money  would  be  needed. 

The  church  building,  as  it  was  before  the  repairs  were 
begun,  presented  an  appearance  somewhat  different,  both 
externally  and  internally,  from  what  the  beholder  sees  it 
to  be  at  the  present  day,  although  the  general  features  of 
the  building  remain  unaltered.  Prior  to  the  repairs,  the 
outer  walls  were  of  a  pale  yellow  color.  The  steeple,  as 
well  as  all  the  woodwork,  was  painted  white,  and  had  on 
it  the  dial  of  the  town  clock,  some  years  ago  removed  to 
Zion's  German  Lutheran  Church.  The  main  entrance  to 
the  building  was  by  a  door  on  the  Third  street  side,  where 
the  vestibule  now  is.  The  old  woodwork,  door  posts  and 
doors  are  there  now.  There  was  also  another  door  on 
Third  street,  occupying  the  position  of  the  upper  window 
next  Church  street.  Strictly  speaking  it  was  not  a  door, 
but  served  the  purpose  of  both  door  and  window.  It  has 
since  been  converted  into  a  window.  On  Church  street 
there  were  four  windows,  two  downstairs  and  two  upstairs, 
two  on  either  side  of  the  pulpit.  These  have  been  closed 
up.  The  entrance  on  the  east,  or  parsonage  side,  was  the 
same  as  now. 

Internally  the  changes  were  more  marked  than  on  the 
exterior.  Passing  into  the  church,  as  it  was  before  the 
repairs,  one  observed,  as  he  entered  the  vestibule,  two  box 
stairways  leading  to  the  galleries.  He  noticed  that  the 
ceiling  of  the  vestibule  was  low  and  somewhat  cramped  in 
appearance  by  the  projection  into  it  of  an  old  "bellows 
gallery"  used  in  former  times   for  the   organ,  but  since 


JRecent  History.  65 

fallen  into  disuse  except  as  a  lumber  room.  Where  the 
two  large  arches  now  are,  two  doors  of  ordinary  size 
opened  into  the  central  part  of  the  vestibule.  The  en- 
trances from  the  vestibule  into  the  audience  room  were 
located  at  the  same  places  as  now,  except  that  the  side 
doors  have  been  moved  further  toward  the  wall  and  the 
inner  jambs  sloped  where  they  were  at  right  angles  before. 
There  were  six  rows  of  pews  instead  of  four,  as  at  present, 
with  three  aisles  separating  them,  the  central  aisle  being 
where  it  is  now,  and  the  side  aisles  not  being  along  the 
walls  but  separated  from  them  by  a  row  or  tier  of  short 
pews.  The  old  pews,  indeed,  were  all  short,  all  being  of 
the  same  length.  They  contained  three,  or  at  the  most 
four,  sittings.  They  were  low  in  the  back,  narrow  in  the 
seat,  and  very  close  together,  and  were  generally  con- 
sidered models  of  discomfort.  After  the  fashion  prevail- 
ing in  old-time  churches,  the  pews  were  box  pews,  being 
furnished  with  doors.  The  pews,  as  well  as  the  galleries 
and  woodwork  generally,  were  painted  a  pure  white,  the 
walls  being  a  plain  gray  color.  The  pulpit  was  a  massive 
structure  of  mahogany.  There  was  no  recess,  chancel 
rail  or  font.  The  windows  were  of  ordinary  or  clear  glass, 
and  were  furnished  with  "Venetian  blinds."  The  posts 
under  the  galleries  were  heavy  wooden  affairs,  which 
somewhat  obstructed  the  view.  These  facts  are  here  men- 
tioned, somewhat  hastily,  it  is  true,  as  being  of  some  pos- 
sible interest  in  the  future. 

The  changes  and  repairs  were  actually  commenced  on 
the  22d  day  of  July,  1885.  What  they  consisted  of  may, 
perhaps,  be  best  seen  by  comparing  the  above  statement 
with  the  present  appearance  of  the  building.  It  may, 
however,  be  well  to  mention  in  a  general  way  that  the  re- 
pairs were  chiefly  as  follows :  pulpit  recess  on  Church

street;  outer  vestibule  on  Third  street ;  changes  and  new 
stairways  in  inner  vestibule  ;  new  doors  from  the  vestibule 
to  the  main  audience  room  ;  new  floors  upstairs  and  down  ; 
new  pews,  with  upholstering ;  new  gas  fixtures ;  chancel 
rail ;  pulpit  furniture  ;  stained  glass  windows  (nine  of  these, 
or  all  on  the  first  floor,  being  memorial  windows) ;  fresco- 
ing all  the  walls  ;  lowering  the  gallery  fronts  eight  inches  ; 
rearranging  the  galler}-  entrances  and  floors  ;  new  pews  in 
the  galleries.  The  outer  walls  were  repainted,  the  color 
being  changed  from  a  pale  yellow  to  a  stone  gray.  The 
roof  was  repaired  ;  new  spouting  was  put  up  ;  the  ball  and 
vane  on  the  steeple  taken  down  and  regilded.  It  may  be 
of  interest  to  record  that  the  old  tin  spouting  had  done 
constant  service  since  1832,  that  is  for  a  period  of  fifty- 
three  years  ;  and  that  Mr.  Lewis  Heller  (at  present  in  the 
employ  of  Mr.  Daniel  Black),  when  he  was  a  young  man, 
made  the  old  spouting,  and  had  the  singular  fortune  also, 
when  he  was  an  old  man,  to  help  make  the  new. 

Nine  memorial  windows  were  erected  to  the  memory  of 
those  who  years  ago  or  recently  were  active  in  the  church 
work,  and  they  are  as  follows  : 

By  Mrs.  John  Eyerman,  to  the  memory  of  James  and 
Mary  Black,  her  father  and  mother. 

By  Mrs.  Mary  Saylor,  of  Germantown,  to  the  memory 
of  Judge  George  Hess,  her  father. 

By  Mrs.  Charles  Santee,  of  Philadelphia,  to  the  memory 
of  Peter  and  Elizabeth  Shnyder,  her  father  and  mother.

Jacob  Mixsell,  and  Mrs.  Dr.  Lalor,  to  the  memory  of 
their  father  and  mother,  Charles  W.  and  Mary  K. 
Mixsell.

By  Mrs.  John  Hutchinson,  to  the  memory  of  her  mother, 
Elizabeth  Nicholas,  and  her  family. 

By  the  Sunday-schools  of  the  congregation,  to  the 
memory  of  Rev.  John  Beck,  D.D.,  former  pastor  of  the 
church. 

By  private  persons,  to  the  memory  of  the  Rev.  Thomas 
Pomp  and  the  Rev.  Dr.  Bernard  Wolff,  also  former  pastors 
of  the  church. 

The  entire  cost  of  these  repairs  and  memorial  windows 
was  about  $12,000,  and  the-  work  has  been  thoroughly 
done. 

Willing  minds  gave  their  opinions  ;  loving  care  for  the 
ancient  structure  preserved  it  almost  entirely  intact ;  skill- 
ful hands  directed  the  various  changes,  and  earnest  com- 
mitteemen lent  months  of  time  to  the  tiresome,  tedious, 
troublesome  task.  But  at  last  the  work  was  done,  and  the 
old  walls  without  and  within,  save  as  to  color,  are  the 
same.  They  still  reecho,  though  too  faint  for  ear  to  dis- 
cern, the  stirring  eloquence,  the  pathetic  appeals,  the 
solemn  warnings,  the  tender  solicitude  of  the  pastors  who 
have  long  ago  lain  down  in  their  graves,  sleeping  a  blessed 
sleep  after  a  life  of  devotion  to  the  holy  work  of  saving 
souls  ;  the  anthems  of  to-day  are  reflected  by  the  same 
boundaries  that  reverberated  the  plaintive  melodies,  the 
solemn  hymns,  and  the  grand  old  tunes  of  a  hundred  years 
ago. 

On  Sunday  morning,  February  21,  1886,  the  Rededi- 
catory  Services  began  at  the  usual  hour  of  worship — 10.30 
o'clock.  The  church  was  crowded  to  its  utmost  capacity, 
and  had  there  been  more  seats  there  would  have  been 
numbers  of  people  to  occupy  them.  As  the  organist 
played  a  voluntary,  the  pastor.  Rev.  H.  M.  Kieffer,  and 
the    assisting    clergymen.   Rev.   Dr.    Thomas    G.  Apple,

President  of  Franklin  and  Marshall  College,  Lancaster; 
Rev.  Dr.  J.  Spangler  Kieffer,  of  the  Reformed  Church, 
Hagerstown,  JMd.,  brother  of  the  pastor;  Rev.  Dr.  Reil}', 
President  of  the  Allentown  Female  College  ;  Rev.  Thomas 
C.  Porter,  D.D.,  of  Lafayette  College,  the  recently  es- 
teemed pastor  of  the  church ;  Rev.  T.  O.  Stem,  pastor  of 
St.  Mark's  Reformed  Church;  Rev.  D.  Y.  Heisler,  D.D., 
pastor  of  Grace  Reformed  Church,  all  of  Easton,  entered 
and  assumed  places  in  the  pulpit.  It  was  an  imposing 
scene.  Dr.  Apple  occupied  the  principal  seat  in  the 
alcove,  with  Rev.  Dr.  Kieffer  on  his  left  and  Rev.  Dr. 
Reily  on  his  right.  Dr.  Porter  occupied  the  seat  at  the 
reading  desk  ;  Rev.  Stem  opposite,  while  Dr.  Heisler  and 
Rev.  H.  M.  Kieffer  were  seated  near  the  foot  of  the  pulpit 
steps.  An  anthem  by  the  choir  was  followed  by  a  prayer 
by  Dr.  Porter,  who  also  read  the  scripture  lesson  and  an- 
nounced the  hymn.  The  collection  and  anthem  were  next 
on  the  program,  and  then  Dr.  Apple  arose  and  delivered 
his  Rededicatory  Sermon,  taking  his  text  from  Psalms 
LXXXIV:i,  "How  amiable  are  Thy  tabernacles,  O 
Lord  of  Hosts." 

The  sermon  in  the  evening  was  preached  by  the  Rev. 
Dr.  J.  Spangler  Kieffer,  of  Hagerstown,  Md.,  the  brother  of 
the  pastor,  taking  for  his  text  Colossians  i  :  lO,  "  Increas- 
ing in  the  Knowledge  of  God." 

For  the  above  account  of  the  recent  history  of  the  con- 
gregation we  are  indebted  to  the  interesting  sketch  pre- 
pared by  the  editor  of  the  Easton  Free  Press^  Mr.  C.  N. 
Andrews,  and  afterward  published  in  pamphlet  form. 

It  may  also  be  worthy  of  note  here  that  a  very  worthy 
elder  of  the  congregation.  Colonel  Peter  Kichline  com- 
manded a  company  of  troops  from  Easton  during  the 
Revolution,  and  with  his  men  as  sharpshooters  rendered 


Recent  History.  69 

most  valiant  service  to  Washington's  forces  at  the  disas- 
trous battle  of  Long  Island.  They  covered  the  retreat  of 
the  Continental  forces,  and  saved  the  army  from  capture. 

Colonel  Kichline  had  taken  much  interest  in  the  erec- 
tion of  the  new  church,  but  before  it  was  completed  he 
marched  away  with  his  men  to  Washington's  camps, 
and  saw  it  finished  for  the  first  time  when,  after  the  battle 
above  named,  he  brought  his  sick  and  wounded  men  to 
Easton,  and  found  a  comfortable  shelter  for  them  in  the 
new  church  building. 

Another  event  of  interest  connected  with  this  old  church 
is  the  fact  that,  in  October,  1779,  when  Sullivan's  army  re- 
turned from  its  long  march  against  the  Western  Indians  in 
the  Genesee  Country  in  New  York  State,  and  reached 
Easton  in  October  of  that  year.  Chaplain  Evans  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Brigade,  by  special  appointment,  preached 
a  sermon  in  the  church  to  the  soldiers  of  the  expedition.

THE  OLD  ORGAN  AND  ITS  SUCCESSORS. 


"VT^    OR  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  to  come  after,  some 

■^      ,      of  whom   will  undoubtedly  be  grateful  for   the 

^pP      information  here  given,  it  may  be    well  to  give 

some  account  of   the  musical  instruments  used 

in  this  historic  church.     Some  of  the  facts  here  given  have 

been  but  very  recently  ascertained,  and  are  known  to  few 

if  any  of  the  members  of  the  congregation. 

It  may  seem  strange  that,  at  such  an  early  period  in  the 
history  of  the  Forks  of  the  Delaware,  when  the  settlers 
were  both  poor  and  few  in  number,  they  should  undertake 
the  building  of  a  church  of  such  considerable  proportions 
and  involving  such  an  outlay  of  money.  But  it  must  be 
remembered  that  these  poor  Germans  were  pious  people. 
With  them  religion  and  the  church  were  first.  It  is  re- 
markable, also,  that  no  sooner  was  the  church  built  than 
an  organ  was  purchased  and  duly  installed  in  the  organ 
loft.  For  the  German  loved  music  —  music  and  religion 
were,  to  his  mind  inseparable,  and  a  church  without  an 
organ  was  inconceivable. 

So,  no  sooner  was  the  church  finished  than  the  organ 
appeared,  as  we  know  from  the  fact  that  when  the  Indian 
Treaty  was  held  in  1777,  the  organ  was  played  during 
the  friendly  handshaking  and  rum-drinking,  according 
to  the  record.  The  organ  was  built,  we  are  informed,  by 
one  Dannaker,  in  1775. 

What  has  become  of  this  organ?  We  were  always 
under  the  impression  that  it  had  long  since  been  consigned 
to  the  junk-shop  or  the  ash-barrel,  such  being  the  fate,  un- 
fortunately, of  many  of  our  priceless  antiquities.      But,  lo  !

The  Old  Organ  audits  Successors.  71 

while  engaged  in  this  writing  I  am  informed  that  the 
church  at  Plainfield,  once  and  for  many  years  served  by 
the  pastors  of  the  church  in  Easton,  was  about  to  hold  a 
rededication  of  their  church  organ,  which  they  had  lately 
enlarged  and  improved ;  also,  that  the  organ  in  question  is 
the  original  instrument  used  in  the  Easton  church,  having 
been  purchased  by  the  Plainfield  congregation  in  1833. 
In  connection  with  which  statement  I  am  asked  to  give  the 
people  of  Plainfield  any  information  I  may  possess  con- 
cerning their  old  organ.  "  Who  was  the  builder,  and 
when  was  it  built?  Was  it  played  at  the  Indian  Treaty  of 
1777?"  To  which  interrogatories  a  full  and  courteous 
response  was  given,  with  the  request  that  it  be  read  at  the 
rededication  of  the  venerable  organ,  now  one  hundred  and 
twenty-five  years  old. 

That  was  the  original  organ.  It  was  sold  to  the  Plain- 
field  church  in  1833,  and  a  new  organ  purchased,  which 
in  its  turn  was  in  constant  use  for  half  a  century,  yielding 
its  place  about  the  year  1880  to  the  very  excellent  instru- 
ment now  in  use. 

One  can  only  regret  the  loss  of  some  of  these  old  things. 
May  we  not  hope  that  some  day  the  old  organ  may  come 
back  to  this  church?  There  is  room  for  it  in  the  Session 
Room,  or  Chapel  —  if  indeed  the  Plainfield  people  will 
ever  graciously  part  with  it  out  of  regard  for  the  congre- 
gation to  which  it  once  belonged. 


THE  CHANGE  IN  THE  NAME  OF  THE  CHURCH. 


THE  original  name  of  the  congregation  was  "The 
,  German  Reformed  Congregation  of  Easton." 
^^^  By  this  name  it  was  commonly  and  popularly 
known  from  the  beginning  of  its  history,  and  by 
this  "name,  style  and  title"  it  was  legally  and  formally 
denominated  in  its  original  charter  granted  in  the  year  1808. 

In  the  course  of  time,  however,  some  change  in  the 
name  of  the  congregation  began  to  appear  necessary. 
The  reasons  for  such  a  change  are  herewith  given  : 

I.  The  name  "  German"  was  no  longer  suitable  :  first, 
because  this  word  was  by  due  authority  of  the  Synod 
dropped  from  the  official  and  legal  name  of  the  denomina- 
tion as  a  whole,  which  since  1866  was  known  as  "The 
Reformed  Church  in  the  United  States,"  and  not  "The 
German  Reformed  Church  in  the  United  States  "  as  for- 
merly. To  retain  the  name,  "  German,"  for  the  congrega- 
tion after  it  had  been  dropped  by  the  denomination  seemed 
incongruous. 

Then,  too,  the  congregation  had  long  ceased  to  be  Ger- 
man. From  the  date  of  its  organization  until  the  year 
1833,  when  the  first  English  pastor  was  installed,  all  the 
services  of  the  church  had  been  held  in  the  German  tongue. 
From  that  date  onward  the  German  began  to  decline  and 
the  English  to  strengthen,  good  old  "  Father  Pomp,"  the 
German  minister,  saying  to  Dr.  Wolff  his  English  assistant 
—  "you  must  increase  but  I  must  decrease."  German 
services,  however,  still  continued  to  be  held,  at  first  in  the 
morning,  afterward  in  the  afternoon,  until  toward  the  close 
of  the  pastorate  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Beck.     But  the  German

services  were  but  poorly  attended,  and  were  maintained 
for  years  merely  out  of  a  tender  regard  for  the  preferences 
of  the  older  and  declining  portion  of  the  congregation.  In 
the  course  of  time  the  old  people  who  were  attached  to  the 
German  had  almost  entirely  passed  away,  and  German 
ceased  to  be  used.  This  was  in  the  year  187 1.  From 
that  date  onward  all  the  services  of  the  church  were  in  the 
English  tongue,  and  to  continue  calling  the  congregation 
"  German"  when  it  was  no  longer  so,  was  plainly  inap- 
propriate and  often  misleading  to  the  general  public. 

Furthermore  —  when  this  congregation  was  organized 
there  was  but  this  one  Reformed  church  in  Easton  —  since 
then  four  other  Reformed  churches  having  been  estab- 
lished, the  original  name  of  the  congregation  ceased  to  be 
distinctive.  And  this  difficulty  was  still  further  intensified 
by  the  establishment  of  a  Dutch  Reformed  Church  on 
Spring  Garden  Street.  There  being  then  two  Reformed 
churches  in  Easton  and  in  close  proximity  to  each  other, 
it  became  necessary  to  distinguish  them,  and  so,  for  many 
years  the  congregation  of  which  we  are  writing  was  popu- 
larly known  as  "The  Third  Street  Reformed  Church." 
This  name  it  retained  for  more  than  thirty  years,  being 
known  by  one  name  in  law  and  by  another  in  common 
usage. 

This  state  of  things  was  plainly  undesirable,  and  the 
necessity  for  a  change  became  apparent.  In  order  that 
the  change  of  name  might  be  made  in  a  regular  and  formal 
manner,  it  was  thought  well  to  secure  an  amended  charter 
from  the  Court  of  Northampton.  A  new  charter  was  de- 
sirable, quite  independently  of  the  matter  of  the  name  ;  and 
this  chiefly  for  the  reason  that  the  old  charter  was  no 
longer  suited,  in  many  important  respects,  to  the  changed 
circumstances  of   the   congregation.      Accordingly,   after 


74  T^h^  First  Reformed  Church  of  East  on.  Pa. 

due  application  regularly  made,  the  Court  of  Northampton 
County  did,  on  the  eighth  day  of  March  in  the  year  1897 
grant  the  congregation  an  amended  charter  whereby  its 
name  was  changed  to  that  which  it  presently  bears  —  "  The 
First  Reformed  Church  of  Easton." 


THE  CHIME  OF  BELLS. 


THE  Chime  of  Bells  in  the  tower  of  the  old  church 
was  erected  during  the  opening  days  of  the  year 
1902,  in  commemoration  of  the  one  hundred 
and  fifty-seventh  anniversary  of  the  founding 
of  the  congregation.  The  erection  of  this  chime  of  bells 
was  the  result  of  an  address  delivered  to  the  congregation 
by  the  pastor,  Rev.  Dr.  Kieffer,  on  Sunday,  November 
12,  1899,  concerning  the  propriety  of  holding  a  jubilee 
service  at  some  time  in  the  near  future  in  commemoration 
of  the  founding  of  the  congregation  about  one  hundred  and 
fifty  years  ago.  The  pastor  then  suggested  the  placing  of 
a  chime  in  the  tower  as  a  suitable  method  of  marking  the 
sesqui-centennial  milestone  in  the  long  history  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  dwelt  at  some  length  on  the  religious  im- 
pressiveness  of  a  chime  of  bells  as  being  an  undoubted 
source  both  of  pleasure  and  profit  to  many  people  in  a  city 
like  Easton,  which  so  far  has  known  no  chime.  After  the 
service  the  matter  was  taken  up  by  some  of  the  people  in 
a  very  enthusiastic  manner,  subscriptions  for  three  bells 
being  made  on  the  spot — Miss  Mary  Alice  Huber  leading 
the  way,  followed  by  Mrs.  Matilda  Chidsey  and  Mrs. 
Thomas  Rinek.  Gradually  all  the  bells  were  provided 
for,  six  being  memorial  bells,  as  named  below  ;  one  was 
given  by  the  citizens  of  Easton  in  recognition  of  the  close 
relationship  which  existed  between  this  old  church  and  the 
town  of  Easton  from  the  earliest  times,  and  one  by  the 
congregation  as  a  whole.  These,  together  with  the  great 
bell  weighing  2,000  pounds  placed  in  the  tower  at  the  cen- 
tennial 1876,  make  a  complete  chime  of  nine  bells.

The  old  bell  was  removed  from  the  tower  by  the 
Meneely  Bell  Company,  during  the  month  of  September, 
1901,  and  taken  to  their  foundry  at  Troy,  New  York,  for 
the  purpose  of  having  the  other  eight  bells  cast  in  harmony 
with  it.  In  December  following,  very  considerable  changes 
were  made  in  the  tower  to  prepare  a  suitable  foundation 
for  the  bells,  old  timbers  being  replaced  by  new,  and  other 
improvements  made  as  will  appear  on  inspection.  Ex- 
clusive of  the  cost  of  these  repairs,  the  chime,  including 
the  old  bell,  cost  $6,000.  The  following  is  a  schedule  of 
the  bells  with  the  inscriptions  and  the  names  of  the  donors  :

Baptisms. 


Anno  1760.  The  28th  of  February  a  son  was  born,  and  baptized 
the  5th  of  April  in  the  same  year.  The  child  received  the 
name  of  Ludwig.  The  Sponsors  were  Philip  Gress(ie)  and 
Anna  Margaretha,  ejus  uxor.  The  parents  were  Ludwig 
Knauss  and  Elizabetha,  ejus  uxor. 

The  above  entry  stands  alone,  and  is  in  the  handwriting 
of  the  Rev.  John  William  Ingold,  who  was  not  pastor  of 
the  congregation  until  1776.  It  is  thought  that  the  above 
record  may  have  been  made  by  Rev.  Mr.  Ingold  some 
years  after  the  baptism  of  the  child. 

Then  follows,  in  German  handwriting  that  is  exceed- 
ingly difficult  to  read,  or  rather  to  decipher : 

"  The  Record  of  certain  children  who  were  baptized  by 
the  Rev.  C.  P.  Weyberg,  the  evidence  of  which  fact  lies 
in  the  circumstance  that  the  records  were  found  in  his 
handwriting  in  certain  stray  memoranda." 

1763.  June  12.  A  child  of  John  Simon  and  Gertrude  his 
wife.  Witnesses,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Rieser.  Child's  name, 
John. 

1763.  June  12.  A  child  of  Michael  Meyer  and  his  wife 
Magdalena.  Witnesses,  George  Kren  (?)  and  Maria  Barbara. 
Child's  name,  Maria  Barbara. 

1763.  June  19.  A  child  of  Martin  Lohr  and  his  wife  Eliza- 
beth. Witnesses,  Frederick  Meixel,  and  his  wife  Anna. 
Name  of  the  child,  Abraham. 

1763.     August  9.     A  child  of  John  Ries  and  his  wife  Sophia. 
Witnesses,  parents.     Child's  name,  John. 

1763.     August   9.     A    child   of  Ludwig  Knaus  and  his   wife 
Elizabetha.      Witnesses,  parents.     Child's  name,  Anna  Eliza-

and  Anna.     Name  of  cbild,  Anna.

JV'itfiesscs,  Henry  .   .   .    and  his  wife  Juliana.     Child's  name,

1763.  April  17.  A  child  of  George  Gangwer  and  his  wife 
Anna  Maria.  Witnesses,  Christian  Menninger  and  Maria 
Catharina  Gangewer.     Child's  name,  John. 

1763.  April  17.  A  child  of  Carl  Ward  and  his  wife  Anna 
Catharina.  Witnesses,  William  Kehl  and  Maria  Magdalena 
Kehl.     Child's  name  Maria. 

The  above  records,  which  are  evidently  in  the  hand- 
writing of  Rev.  Fredenck  L.  Henop,  who  became  pastor 
of  the  congregation  in  1766,  were  made  from  memoranda 
left  by  Rev.  Mr.  Weyberg.  The  latter  was  the  first  regu- 
lar pastor  of  the  congregation,  taking  charge  1763,  but 
remained  only  six  months.  This  statement  may  make 
clear  the  following  note  which  is  entered  immediately  after 
the  above  records  : 

"These  are  the  children  whose  names  were  found  on 
slips  of  paper  left  behind  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Weyberg.  It 
is  indeed  true  that  more  names  were  on  these  slips,  but 
inasmuch  as  one  cannot  tell  whether  they  are  the  names 
of  the  parents,  the  sponsors,  or  the  children,  one  did  not 
wish  to  inscribe  them,  inasmuch  as  nothing  should  stand 
in  this  book  but  what  one  knows  to  be  the  truth." 

Then  follow  six  blank  leaves  —  left  blank  perhaps  in  the 
hope  that  other  records  of  the  Church  might  be  there  in- 
serted in  proper  place  —  and  then  follows  the  records  of 
baptisms  performed  by  the  Rev.  Frederick  L.  Henop,  who 
became  pastor  at  the  date  named  above.

lyjS-  April  30.  [This  entry  is  in  the  handwriting  of  the  Rev. 
Johann  Wilhehn  Ingold,  who  became  pastor  in  1776.]  A 
daughter  was  born,  and  some  time  thereafter  was  baptized, 
receiving  the  name  Anna  Catharine.  Parents^  Joh'"'  Reb- 
scher  and  his  wife  Elizabeth.  God  Parents^  John  Peter 
Ehrich  (Ihrie?)  and  his  wife  Anna  Catharine. 

1775.  March  6.  Was  born  George,  a  son  of  John  Nicholas 
Trauch  and  his  wife  Anna  Margaret.  The  sponsors  at  the 
baptism  were  the  grandparents,  George  Ernest  Becker  and 
his  wife  Magdalena. 

1776.  January  30.  Was  born  John,  a  son  of  John  Deichman 
and  Elizabeth  his  wife.  Sponsors.,  John  Faust  Dengler  and 
his  wife  Margaret. 

In  the  year  1776,  and  apparently  in  the  spring  of  the 
year,  the  Rev.  John  William  Ingold  became  pastor  of  the 
congregation,  and  continued  in  office  for  a  period  of  ten 
years.  His  records  are  kept  with  exceeding  care  and 
most  commendable  clearness.  The  records  are  in  the 
English  characters  for  the  most  part,  but  here  and  there 
German  characters  are  interspersed,  the  record  thus  show- 
ing the  conflict  of  the  two  languages.  Rev.  Mr.  Ingold's 
entries  are  made  with  good  ink,  and  show  as  plainly  as 
the  day  they  were  made.  Each  page  is  ruled  into  five 
columns,  one  each  for  "  Parentes,  Infantes,  Nati,  Bap- 
tizati  and  Comparentes  " — these  names  indicating  that  Mr. 
Ingold  was  a  good  Latin  scholar  as  well  as  a  careful  scribe.

[Having  reached  the  beginning  of  the  present  living  generation, 
it  is  thought  well  that  the  publication  of  the  record  of  baptisms 
should  cease  at  this  point.  It  is  to  be  understood,  however,  that 
the  record  runs  on  without  a  break  to  the  present  day.  It  would 
be  impossible,  within  the  limits  of  one  volume,  to  continue  the 
publication  of  all  the  baptisms  and  other  entries.]

in  Holland  it  was  known  as  The  Coetus,  but  when,  in 
1793,  the  body  separated  from  the  Church  in  Holland

charge  was  vacant  until  July,  1796,  when  the  Rev.  Thomas 
Pomp  became  the  pastor,  and  remained  in  charge  for  more 
than  a  half-century.  The  new  pastor  seems  at  first  to  have 
followed  the  somewhat  awkward  method  of  his  predecessors 
in  grouping  the  burials  according  to  locality,  but  after- 
wards reduced  matters  to  a  more  orderly  and  convenient 
arrangement,  as  will  be  seen  by  what  follows.]

ceases  at  this  point,  1844.  He  was  now  an  aged  and 
venerable  man,  having  continued  in  office  as  pastor  for 
forty-eight  years.  In  the  year  1845  the  Rev.  J.  H.  A. 
Bomberger  became  the  Englist  assistant  pastor.  In  an- 
other book  will  be  found  his  record  of  marriages,  the  first 
entry  being  made  April  4,  1847.  These  records  it  is  not 
our  purpose  to  publish,  our  aim  being  merely  to  publish 
the  records  from  the  earliest  entry  down  to  the  close  of  the 
ministry  of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Pomp. 

It  is  further  to  be  observed  that  "Father  Pomp's  "  rela- 
tion to  the  congregation  still  continued  in  a  regular  man- 
ner, even  after  the  coming  of  Rev.  Mr.  Bomberger  as  the 
assistant  pastor.  Father  Pomp  was  still  the  regular  Ger- 
man minister,  and  Rev.  Mr.  Bomberger  the  English  pas- 
tor. This  arrangement  continued  from  1845  to  April  19, 
1850,  when,  owing  to  the  increasing  infirmities  of  age, 
Father  Pomp  retired  from  the  active  service  of  the  church, 
still  retaining,  however,  his  official  relation  as  pastor  with 
salary.  "  Four  years  later  in  the  early  morning  of  April 
22,  1852,  death  gently  released  him  from  all  his  earthly 
labors  and  trials,  in  the  eightieth  year  of  his  age,  the 
sixtieth  of  his  ministry,  and  the  fifty-seventh  of  his  pastor- 
ate in  Easton." 

During  the  latter  years  of  his  ministry  he  seems  not  to 
have  made  any  entries  of  marriages,  baptisms,  etc.,  in  the 
church  books.  From  what  I  have  learned  from  members 
of  his  family  I  am  persuaded  that  he  kept  such  records  in 
a  private  memorandum  book,  his  son  William  as  occasion 
afforded,  copying  them  into  a  book  which  was  afterward 
used  as  an  "Account  Book."  Some  years  ago,  prior  to 
the  death  of  the  sole  survivors  of  his  immediate  family,  the 
Misses  Susan  and  Mary  Pomp,  I  secured  from  them  the 
privilege    of  cutting  out  the  leaves  of  this  account  book

Anno  1794. 
In  this  year  the  two  ciders,  Philp  Achenbach  and  Henry  Hap- 
pel,  laid  down  their  offices,  and  in  their  places  as  elders  were 
elected  "die  bisherigen  vorsteher"  —  the  deacons,  Diedrich 
Bauer  and  Frederick  Hahn,  and  as  deacons  Abraham  Heller  and 
Philip  Keller.  These  were,  on  the  i6th  of  November,  1794, 
brought  before  the  congregation  and  consecrated  to  their  several 
offices.  Elders.,  Diedrich  Bauer,  Frederick  Hahn  ;  Deacons^ 
Abraham  Heller,  Philip  Keller. 


CONCLUSION. 

It  may  be  worth  while  to  call  the  reader's  attention  to 
the  fact  that  the  above  meager  extracts  from  the  proceed- 
ings of  the  consistories  of  these  several  churches  show  that 
it  was  not  customary,  in  that  day,  and  in  the  Reformed 
Church,  for  the  same  persons  to  succeed  themselves  in 
office  as  elders  as  deacons.  When  their  terms  of  office 
expired,  others  were  elected  in  their  stead. 

Here  the  editor  lays  down  his  pen  and  brings  his  long 
and  interesting  work  to  a  conclusion.  His  purpose  origin- 
ally was  simply  to  translate  and  publish  the  contents  of  the 
two  oldest  of  the  church  books  in  the  possession  of  the 
congregation.  This  he  has  now  done.  There  are  besides 
these  two  church  books  three  others  of  a  more  recent  date. 
These  future  pastors  may  care  for.  The  editor's  purpose 
was  merely  to  put  the  oldest  and  most  valuable  records  of 
the  congregation  in  such  a  form  that  they  could  be  neither 
lost  nor  destroyed  by  fire.  It  is  really  a  wonder  that  these 
old  books  were  not  long  since  destroyed  by  fire  or  lost  by 
careless  handling.  When  they  are  once  printed  and  dis- 
tributed no  carelessness  and  no  fire  can  ever  destroy  a  lose 
all  of  the  copies  published.  That  these  precious  records 
may  be  preserved  is  the  hope  of  the  editor,  and  that  every 
one  who  turns  over  the  pages  of  these  records  of  Christian 
people,  long  since  gone  to  the  better  world,  may  have 
his  name  written  in  the  Lamb's  Book  of  Life  is  his  most 
earnest  prayer. 

"  Then  they  that  feared  the  Lord  spake  often  to  one  an- 
other;  and  the  Lord  hearkened^  and  heard  it,  and  a  book

of  rcnicmhrancc  zuas  ivritten  before  Him  for  them  that 
Jeared  the  Lord^  and  that  thought  upon  His  name. 

'''■And  they  shall  be  mine,  saith  the  Lord  of  Hosts,  in 
that  day  zuhcn  I  make  up  mv  jewels,  and  I  will  spare  him 
as  a  man  sparcth  his  own  son  that  serve th  him.  Then 
shall  ye  return  and  discern  between  the  righteous  and  the 
wicked,  between  him  that  serveth  God  and  him  that  serveth 
Him  not.'"     Malachi  III.,  16-18. 

'•'■And  I  saw  the  dead,  small  and  great,  stand  before 
God;  and  the  books  were  opened;  and  another  book  was 
opened  which  is  the  book  of  life;  and  the  dead  were  judged 
out  of  those  things  which  zuere  written  in  the  books,  accord- 
ing to  their  works.''     Rev.  XX.,  12.
